Plano Texas is a complete shithole with zero redeeming features.

Wichita Kansas is also a shithole but at least there was one nice park across from our house.

The United States of America

Unironically this.

There are lots of amazing places in the USA, but usually those are the bits with awesome landscapes and very few Americans.

Wilmington DE was my least favourite (racist rednecks without that southern charm or even the Hills Have Eyes frisson of the rural south), followed closely by the Philly 'burbs.

take a look overhead
Fort Mac. I don't live there, relatives do, but I spent enough time there to hate it.
it's boring in summer, unbearably cold in winter. Once I left the house planning on going to get food, get hit in the face by -40 C weather and decided it would be better to starve.

id constantly go to lake pleasant or sedona or the canned granyon and try to forget about my life in downtown phoenix but sooner or later id have to go back to work or check on my pot plants or w/e and the journey back to phoenix was like a vacuum cleaner hose bein jammed up my soul's bum and the power slowly being increased until my soul's bowels were all suctioned out and then it was my job to empty out that lil plastic thingy because of course it's a fucken bagless vacuum

I got stationed in Biloxi MS for 6 months. During my cab ride to the airport the driver explained to me his theory that Obama was the Manchurian Candidate. I didn't argue with him because I didn't want to miss my flight and spend any more time there than I already had.

Asheville, NC

Great place to visit. Good food. Great hiking. Music scene, if you like jam-band-y stuff. Biltmore Estate.

Living there gets old real fast, though. Nothing but hippies, hipsters, rednecks, and retirees who fall into the above categories. There is precisely zero to do outside of downtown, except hiking and biking. And you do everything there is to do in downtown a week.

Oh yeah, there's plenty of drugs to do. How could I forget that?

If you want anything done, it takes forever and is usually done shoddily. People there do not care about anything, which doesn't really represent the whole "laid back Southern" lifestyle. Everywhere else I've been in the South, people are chill but they give a poo poo.

Paris, TX.

I moved from Los Angeles to Texas for a year to take care of my mom. I was 22, and got a quick job at a Hastings. On the release day, "Brokeback Mountain" flew of the DVD rental shelves. The next morning, when I opened up shop, I had a line outside and wondered what the gently caress was going on.

Turns out they all were there to demand refunds. Reason? "THIS MOVIE HAS THEM FAGS IN IT!"

gently caress Texas - well, at least near Dallas. It's like the loving Hills Have Eyes.

There was a GHOST here.
It's gone now.
I lived in Dhaka, Bangladesh growing up. It's city of 8 million people and no pollution laws, noted for having the highest airborne lead content in the world. We bleached our vegetables because so much produce was treated with human waste. 3-inch flying cockroaches would divebomb your face and we had "hand spiders," which were as large as your hand and hideously aggressive. Lake Gulshan was so polluted it couldn't support life, a classmate of mine died of malaria, the city has had an obscene amount of terrorist attacks and it would take two hands to count the number of times my or my family's lives were threatened there.

The worst place I've lived is Greenville, South Carolina.

Binghamton, NY

Even for upstate New York it's depressing. IBM used to be headquartered in nearby Endicott, and Dick's Sporting Goods put its first store in Binghamton. That store is still around but neither company is headquartered there. That's tens of thousands of jobs that could be there that are somewhere else. As a result, it's poor as hell. Food pantries have long lines- when I went to grad school and lived downtown, I was next to one that always had a long line of people waiting in the morning.

There is nothing to do in downtown Binghamton except to drink. Every Saturday, the bars on State Street are filled to bursting with idiot kids from the university and you can't move. There are no grocery stores downtown either, you have to go a mile outside of the area in order to get to the nearest grocery store. When I was waiting for the bus back from the grocery store (I don't have a car), someone assumed that I got my bag of food from a food bank.

Binghamton has the most rainfall of any city east of the Mississippi because it's on the tail end of the lake effect from Lake Erie. It's also overcast almost all the time because of it. That just adds to its depressing aura. The NHL's Ottawa Senators have their minor league affiliate there (they're rumored to be leaving for Belleville, Ontario) and a Swedish prospect talked about how awful it is to media in his home country.

Also the university sucks and ruined a relationship with someone I loved because their international students office is a bureaucratic hellhole.
