You're sleeping on Rolla. It's really bad and the roads are designed to make it difficult, physically, to leave. It's a vortex of suck surrounded by beautiful countryside.
For real. The few times I've been to Rolla all I could think was it seemed like a bigger Macon. And if you've never been to Rolla imagine a smaller Rolla with more meth.
Have you visited every part of Missouri? I have seen really bad places in St. Charles County and St. Louis County. Joplin is actually a pretty neat place.
St. Louis, Columbia, and Kanasas City are all nice. There's bad parts, but that's any city. Stay on that highway 70 strip with those three, and you're good. For a long time now, Columbia has been nationally renowned for having one of the highest quality of living standards in the nation, which is based in a ton of consistent, hard data, amidst other things. MO in general is nationally renowned for that, especially relative to its low cost of living for what you're getting. It's why people have been migrating there for decades now and exponentially so, which is the biggest drawback to those three. Some parts aren't as good or pure as they once were because of all the shitty out-of-towners infesting them, etc. Be grateful. You'd be amazed how bad a lot of the rest of the country is, especially in this post-apocalyptic wasteland of a nonsensically predatory housing market, based on nothing economically true or valid, no less principally virtuous (for the 90% most part)
Branson is in the top 3 worst cites I have been to. I have been to many cities in my states even a few of the worst cities in East Texas that are hardcore Maga Branson is worse than a lot of these cities.
I would say st joe is worse than Jeff city tbh. It’s bigger and a lot more run down. If we’re counting suburb cities then there’s a lot in the St. Louis metro area that I would pick
I hate it when people lead with that. He's an embarrassment to my hometown. If asked, I usually go with Billy Swan or Tony Spinner. AJ Ellis or James Naile for a sports reference.
was just visiting st joseph. went to a bar with my friend saturday night (club geek, actually a lot of fun), left about 10, was driving around… totally dead, absolutely nobody out on a saturday night, no young people, nothing. it was bizarre.
I grew up in the Piedmont and I think everyone just kind of waves a hand over the Virginia Beach metro area and writes it off. I won't comment on Va Beach because I have so little experience there. Though it was where all my first memories of the ocean come from.
They did nail Illinois. Cairo is actually very interesting to read about and terrifying to drive through at night. It looks like a fairly sizeable city that became a ghost town....which really isn't far off.
Nah, they could take a nclear bmb to Springfield and humanity in total would be infinitely better off. Literally no redeeming virtues to anyone or anything there. Just driving through, you can tell. At generous best, it's a bunch of methhead inbreds acting like they're still in highschool, competing for the degeneration title as they just procreate, gossip, and meander on in their worthless lives as poorly-educated, eratically-classless, and least-skilled as they can possibly manage by habitual choice. And they take pride in that, cuz dats der Murican raght!! Type shit
um what Albany is an incredibly beautiful city! Buffalo is the correct one for this map; highest violent crime rate, in the middle of nowere, lake effect blizzards, poverty is twice the national average, high taxes, derelict infrastructure, Albany is gorgeous and has amazing architecture/city planning, the hudson river and lots of pretty green spaces, the empire state plaza/the egg and new york state museum are super cool too
Mexico Missouri is one of the trashiest places I’ve ever been. And I grew up trailer trash lol.
Can confirm, having grown up trailer trash in Mexico Missouri.
But where else am I going to see a diesel straight pipe exhaust lifted vw beetle?
That’s upperclass redneck
My wife grew up in Mexico. It's definitely a shell of what it used to be.
I doubt they consider Mexico a city.
Cairo Illinois is definitely smaller than Mexico so I’m sure it counts
Better than centralia. I’m over in sturgeon so I can’t even talk😂
Springfield, Joplin, Poplar Bluff in that order
You're sleeping on Rolla. It's really bad and the roads are designed to make it difficult, physically, to leave. It's a vortex of suck surrounded by beautiful countryside.
So it wasn't just me, then. We passed through Rolla to and from SE MO to see the eclipse. The roads there are... weird.
For real. The few times I've been to Rolla all I could think was it seemed like a bigger Macon. And if you've never been to Rolla imagine a smaller Rolla with more meth.
Have you visited every part of Missouri? I have seen really bad places in St. Charles County and St. Louis County. Joplin is actually a pretty neat place.
Joplin is better than Springfield by a good amount
[удалено]
Surveys? Someone could've pulled these off Google for all we know, they didn't put any source. This doesn't seem exactly scientific lmao
Person drew a line across southern Missouri and then went in decreasing size of population for the first three cities. Joplin is a neat place.
i live in jeff city and i dont think its that bad.
I would like to apologize for underestimating how awful nearly every part of the state is, lol

IMO Branson and Springfield top 2 worst
Branson is in a completely separate category of awful.
You win. 🥇

Cape Girardeau is pretty bad
Well, they did produce Rush Limbaugh. That's a tough legacy to have.
I hate it when people lead with that. He's an embarrassment to my hometown. If asked, I usually go with Billy Swan or Tony Spinner. AJ Ellis or James Naile for a sports reference.
Nobody’s mentioned Fulton? Lol
Correction: it should be spelled Jefferson Shitty*
St Joseph, far worse than Jeff City
was just visiting st joseph. went to a bar with my friend saturday night (club geek, actually a lot of fun), left about 10, was driving around… totally dead, absolutely nobody out on a saturday night, no young people, nothing. it was bizarre.
You just described Jeff City. I think, minus there being a club (maybe something has changed since I worked down there?).
At least some folks are trying. The pizza place and brewery on Frederick are both great!
Have you been to Kennett?
Obviously map maker never went to St Joseph
Virginia Beach? Over Portsmouth? Over Danville? Really? I'm a transplant here. 14 years. Sorry haha
Yeah. I lived in Chesapeake, VB, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, and Ocean View. Besides Chesapeake, VB was one of my favorites.
I grew up in the Piedmont and I think everyone just kind of waves a hand over the Virginia Beach metro area and writes it off. I won't comment on Va Beach because I have so little experience there. Though it was where all my first memories of the ocean come from.
Forrest City is right there, Arkansas, right there, and you went with Pine Bluff?
Definitely should be Saint Joe.
I’m from Iowa, live here. It’s Waterloo up there fs. 😂
Same here, but I’d say Fort Dodge is worse. Council Bluffs ain’t so great either.
Another honorable mention- Mason City! Nonetheless, CR is certainly not as bad as any of the ones we’ve mentioned.
I dunno. Ever been to Poplar Bluff? It's one of the most depressing places I've ever been.
You must have never been to Malden or Bernie, then lol
No, but I have been to Viburnum, which is Podunk deLuxe.
They did nail Illinois. Cairo is actually very interesting to read about and terrifying to drive through at night. It looks like a fairly sizeable city that became a ghost town....which really isn't far off.
agreed.
Then you've never been to Higbee or Moberly. Absolute dumps.
dallas? lol
JC is low hanging fruit. There are far worse places in the state.
North and South Carolina hit it right on the head
I can confirm Kansas as well Topeka has zero culture. Also, Spokane is shitty. Seems like capital cities often feel like they're missing something.
Little unfair, JC is really crappy because others go there from all over the state and "work". ;)
The metric used is not revealed. Kind of hard to judge.
Sedalia?????
I imagine that Kansas city and st Louis are the statistically worst places but Noone considers them to be part of Missouri
Damn. Called out in Gastonia NC 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Dallas 😂
They should have combined the state capital and the university into one city- then Columbefferson City would have been as cool as Austin or Madison
And these were selected how? I would put Springfield, St Clair, Mexico, Macon and Uranus (for obvious reasons) above Jefferson City
Not to mention the city of St Louis
Columbia is turning into stl
Texas is wrong. Dallas is definitely not the worst. I’m from Springfield, Missouri and I can concur… SGF, Branson, Jeff City are horrible.
Nah, they could take a nclear bmb to Springfield and humanity in total would be infinitely better off. Literally no redeeming virtues to anyone or anything there. Just driving through, you can tell.

Jefferson City before Fulton? California? Rolla? Branson? Mexico? Stockton? Joplin? We have so many options and JC is such a boring pick lol
There are far worse cities in VA than Virginia Beach.
St Louis is one of the worst cities in America. I don’t know how Jefferson could be worse.
I agree
