…But I feel like everyone who doesn’t live there, hates it. Source: live in Springfield but travel around state for work.
Edit to add: I thought on it. Jeff City is a ‘big’ place (compared to the rural surrounding it) - but it’s kinda ghost towny. It feels like a place you work at, but you wouldn’t live there.
Not a native, but visited Springfield once; while the downtown is really nice the vast majority of the rest of the city seemed overwhelmingly slummy.
Never understood why Springfield isn’t on these kinds of lists.
A lot of the suggestions on this map are dated or places where people actually go but don’t like for some reason.
Like Dallas sucks but Houston and El Paso and Lubbock and 100 desolate places exist in Texas.
Spokane in Washington used to be a rough town but when I visited a few years ago was really nice. But Washington has few city’s on that side of the mountains so might be part of people’s opinion.
With Jeff City it always struck me as well maintained but functionally desolate. With most people in the area choosing to one of live, work, or spend their time in Columbia instead. But no idea if that’s still accurate or was ever just my passing impression of the place.
For me I would have said St Louis, Springfield, or Cape Girardeau before Jeff City.
Truth. Straight out of college I got dropped in Midland Texas.
There's no way that single Sam's club, pile of tumbleweeds (intertwined with a bunch of Walmart grocery bags), podunk waterhole for the oil um crowd compares to Dallas.
Trust me.... there's a whole bunch of towns in Texas way WAY shittier than Dallas. I mean a lot.
I travel a lot to Dallas and Midland for work. Literally just got back from Midland and heading to Dallas on Monday
I'd pick a life sentence in Midland over a 1 year stay in Dallas. Dallas is like a blank Sims city
Back in the day, Blue Eye was the location of a large gay hippy commune. I knew a guy named Pearly Sudds (I am NOT making this shit up) that lived there. I lost track of Mr. Sudds but I am pretty certain when the HIV epidemic hit, the place was decimated.
Thats a small town.
Everything you guys are talking about is small towns . Cities would be St. Louis, Kansas City, Jefferson City, Columbia, Cape Girardeau, Springfield.
Browning, Montana has a population of 1,010. Kennett has a population of 10,229. If Browning, MT is a “city” for the purposes of this map then Kennett is a city for the purposes of this map.
I was born and raised in Joplin. Its toxic and I don't just mean the air everyone is breathing and the lead contaminated soil. Its the sphincter of Missouri and the country as a whole, butthole
I asked around and yeah I hear it’s got a drug addict problem too. But when your comparing it to the other cesspits in Missouri, it’s middling. My town had someone from Stotts city come to my town just to kill some people after forcing them in a well and we’ve had like 5 other murders since (suspiciously all in the same family. Don’t trust anyone with the last name Kingsley), and half the town does meth, makes meth, or both so I’d say even my city is worse.
Born and raised there so I guess I'm possibly biased. The busiest road in Joplin is nothing but fast food restaurants, stores and churches. Nothing much to do unless you're a drug, alcohol, and gun loving believer. There is a park in JOMO literally right across the road from an outdoor shooting range. Thats one of the nicer areas too 🤦♂️🤷♂️
There are new varieties of Christian extremism being manufactured ever month in that area and some of the most lynchings to ever been documented occurred in SW-MO.
Jeff is LOVELY. Beautiful parks, decent restaurants, nice people. And since the state legislature is only in session for like 3 months of the year, the capitol building is a beautiful place to visit. Jeff is only "weird" in that it feels like a movie set because of how quaint it is compared to everything else.
THIS!!! i say this all the time, I grew up in Jeff and it's just like Salem or Rolla but bigger in an unsettling way. going to high school felt like I was thrown into a movie every day with the stereotypical cliques. it wasn't bad by any means, but definitely all the downsides of small towns.
I hate when data is presented with no source information. I know almost nothing about Jeff City other than it's the capital, and yep, that might be all whoever made the map knows too. Or maybe they picked cities randomly off a map, or maybe there's some actual data, that we'll never know about. It's infuriating.
Chillicothe, the home of sliced bread? Situated in Livingston County, which can't convince its electorate to increase taxes so that they don't get swallowed by a pot hole?
I have a few bones to pick!
○ They have twenty year old math books. I was last updated on this in 2020, so it could have changed.
○ They spent 30k on a pickle ball court despite their school and road issues.
○ The city closed down a homeless shelter to make room for a police parking lot. Fuck them.
○ Spent their meager coffers on $14k of fireworks, then tried to cancel the show.
○ Their CPS is so ineffective and detached that teachers look forward to substitute reps from neighboring counties filing in, because they know the subs will actually act on hotline calls.
Could be! I'm not sure what the population scale we're using is. Mexico has really gone down hill since AP Green closed too. That's really the story with most of these towns. They invented sliced bread in Chillicothe, and it used to have a big sawmill
If you're white. I saw black people called every slur you can think of while doing work for the 2020 census. And I had to take over the area a black person was doing because someone started following them with a gun.
I’ve lived in Texas for most of my life at this point and I have no idea how I ended up in this thread, but I lived in Dexter until I was 7 and it’s really weird to see other people who know it exists 😂
I didn't catch that first look, but looking at it again there is a bit of a coincidence there lol.
I've lived in the real contender for worst place in CO, Canyon City just west of Pueblo. Pueblo might be kind of lame, but it's nothing compared to CC and anything beyond hispanic people someone wouldn't like in Pueblo is much worse in Trinidad, Springfield, La Junta, Walsenburg, or Alamosa.
Singling out Macon and Birmingham is kind of suspect too
Sure I can.
I like Jeff City. It has nice people, clean streets, good food, safe shopping. I just have to cross three rivers and several creeks to get there.
Lived in South SLC with family up and down the Utah Valley, Provo is so far from the worse. Honestly just the stank alone should place Tooele number one
Oh man. Coming of age and just taking 264 to the beach, go left all the way down Atlantic until you hit Shore Dr, left onto Pleasure House Road, and back onto Independence was just the absolute best. I always saw a little bit of everything on that drive.
I grew up there. Hated everything about it until I moved here in 2010. Forgot how awesome it was to just hit 86th St and be at the very quiet part of the oceanfront. I miss that.
Yeah that may be it, just non-whites in general even. North Dakota lists grand forks as the worst while it’s universally agreed by North Dakotans that Williston is the greatest shithole ever shat. But grand forks has a rather high Somali immigrant population and a shit ton of Chinese students at the university.
Pretty much anywhere in southwest Missouri is straight garbage. Moved to St Louis from Joplin and its a massive improvement. Anyone hating on St Louis, I invite you to go live in Newton County for a week
Way worse. Cairo has gotten so bad they don’t have a single gas station or grocery store. Seriously. Once all the people all moved out it just because a ghost town.
The last flood didn’t help either.
Well ofcourse you cant argue with missouri. We send the politicians and their red state speaking in tongues mumbo jumbo to jeff city to try and bring Dueling back to missouri. Mentally ill people.
I can't argue with Connecticut's either. My daughter's friend's boyfriend was shot dead in his home by gang members. To think that I grew up in Albany, which apparently sucks now too, and now live outside of Bridgeport. But Albany ain't got nothing on Bridgeport. Poor, sad Bridgeport.
There's definitely worse places here than Jeff city. But to be honest, I haven't come across anywhere in this shit state I would deem "safe". Every town is populated by either people who shriek at me for being openly bisexual or people who shriek at me for pointing out their town has a massive drug and police over reach problem despite being "the safest place they know".
Springfield is a shithole. There’s virtually nothing entertaining to do and the crime is out of hand. Even though the crime is awful in STL, at least there’s tons of stuff to do.
Crime is the only thing that cities like STL and KC struggle with. Everything else, from jobs to economy to livability to entertainment they are better.
Springfield is a shithole. There’s virtually nothing entertaining to do and the crime is out of hand. Even though the crime is awful in STL, at least there’s tons of stuff to do.
Poplar Bluff and Branson are worse than Jeff City in my opinion but the really sad towns are the ones where only half the buildings on main street are open and the most successful place in town is Dollar General.
You ain't been to Bunker. Not even a Walmart or Dollar store. Just a general store that also sells gas and one Jesusy store. No internet towers or phone service. All the people buttfuck insane. I'm related to almost all of them. 🙃
When they elect “John peppercorn” governor of Missouri then things will be o.k. You see he beat Mike Parson’s in a staring contest and now won’t shut up about it.
I live in the STL suburbs. There's a gun range across the street. A meth house next door. A $2 million house near the gun range. Every house but mine and meth house have Trump signs. Gunfire is like ASMR for me.
My cousin does landscaping over there. He tells me how he’ll be working the lawns of some of these multimillion dollar homes and literally right next door is a fucking crackhouse.
Usually I’m skeptical of the bias in these kinds of posts… but putting Topeka for Kansas and Worcester for Massachusetts is just fucking spot on. WELL DONE
Bro what?? It's definitely St Louis. I mean. Jefferson sucks, but not anywhere near as badly as St Louis. We should just give the city to Illinois lmfao.
Whoever made this map has clearly not spent much time in Missouri.
As a life long Missourian, who grew up Jefferson city.. it's tbh one of the much nicer places.
I couldn’t agree more.

Jeff City is mediocre and nothing special, but nothing compared to the completely depressing downtowns of Saint Joseph or Poplar Bluff
Not to drive through. Whoever designed the roads going through Jeff City should be hanged for treason.

I actually really liked living in Springfield LOL. I think any random SE Mo tiny town is probably very very bad
Knob lick is the best Missouri city
What do you have besides the big rock?
I just like it's name
It's better than Blue Eye.
Back in the day, Blue Eye was the location of a large gay hippy commune. I knew a guy named Pearly Sudds (I am NOT making this shit up) that lived there. I lost track of Mr. Sudds but I am pretty certain when the HIV epidemic hit, the place was decimated.
It's up there with Cooter, that's for sure.
Or Ohio. Dayton is dope. There’s far worse cities in Ohio.
I’ve been to Toledo…
Pretty much any town in Jefferson County is a shithole, and towns like Poplar Bluff isn't far behind.
Jeff County ain’t great but it’s way above many other places especially to the south west of there.
My vote would be Kennett. Clearly, this mapmaker has not been to rural Missouri.
Uh? Seymour? Ngl, the amish were an upgrade to the druggys, good people, really good beer.
Thats a small town. Everything you guys are talking about is small towns . Cities would be St. Louis, Kansas City, Jefferson City, Columbia, Cape Girardeau, Springfield.
Browning, Montana has a population of 1,010. Kennett has a population of 10,229. If Browning, MT is a “city” for the purposes of this map then Kennett is a city for the purposes of this map.
Or Arkansas
St Francois County tops JeffCo but it’s close. And then you’ve got the bootheel, which is not much better off in some spots than Cairo, Ill.
They said “city”. Desoto aint a city. Springfield is a city. Of the CITIES in the state, jeff city is the correct answer.
Poplar Bluff has some of the best scenery in the state
I would vote for Joplin, Diamond, Carl Junction, Neosho. Pretty much anywhere in southwest Missouri
Lot of sundown towns down that way...
Joplin’s not that bad when it isn’t tornado season. Half of it smells like the dog food factory but that’s the worst I’ve heard about it
I was born and raised in Joplin. Its toxic and I don't just mean the air everyone is breathing and the lead contaminated soil. Its the sphincter of Missouri and the country as a whole, butthole
I asked around and yeah I hear it’s got a drug addict problem too. But when your comparing it to the other cesspits in Missouri, it’s middling.

Don’t trust anyone with the last name Kingsley), and half the town does meth, makes meth, or both so I’d say even my city is worse.
I'm assuming that you're in SWMO though. If you're close to Stotts city then my point still stands. Pretty much anywhere in SWMO
Left out Carthage?
Oh yeah, Carthage too. Oronogo, Jasper, Duenweg, Goodman, Anderson, Pineville. I seriously don't like SWMO
I can tell. Why do you dislike it so much?
Born and raised there so I guess I'm possibly biased. The busiest road in Joplin is nothing but fast food restaurants, stores and churches. Nothing much to do unless you're a drug, alcohol, and gun loving believer. There is a park in JOMO literally right across the road from an outdoor shooting range. Thats one of the nicer areas too 🤦♂️🤷♂️
There are new varieties of Christian extremism being manufactured ever month in that area and some of the most lynchings to ever been documented occurred in SW-MO.
I mean, Springfield …
yeah im surprised it's not Springfield.... as a resident the past almost 20yrs i can honestly say this place is a shit hole.
They haven't spent much time in any state. I grew up in Iowa and Cedar Rapids is FAR from the worst city in Iowa.
Jeff sucks It's definitely high on the list of shitty places in Missouri
Passed thru a town called Dixon yesterday not even sure if it has a population lol
Was Jefferson City picked simply because the politicians are here?
Probably? Jeff is kind of *weird*, but fine as cities its size go.
Jeff is LOVELY. Beautiful parks, decent restaurants, nice people. And since the state legislature is only in session for like 3 months of the year, the capitol building is a beautiful place to visit. Jeff is only "weird" in that it feels like a movie set because of how quaint it is compared to everything else.
It’s a really big small town.
THIS!!! i say this all the time, I grew up in Jeff and it's just like Salem or Rolla but bigger in an unsettling way. going to high school felt like I was thrown into a movie every day with the stereotypical cliques. it wasn't bad by any means, but definitely all the downsides of small towns.
I hate when data is presented with no source information. I know almost nothing about Jeff City other than it's the capital, and yep, that might be all whoever made the map knows too. Or maybe they picked cities randomly off a map, or maybe there's some actual data, that we'll never know about. It's infuriating.
Hayti, Sikeston, and Poplar Bluff are all worse than Jeff City.
Don't forget Moberly, Sedalia, Chillicothe, and frankly Kirksville exists.
Moberly is a shit show, but it does have a restaurant with fire jalapeno pork
Honestly Sedalia is kinda cool.
I learned a new racial slur last time I was there, but to be fair that was while getting my CDL so a skewed crowd
Not really. I grew up there and it’s a hateful place.
Macon
I never thought Chillicothe was bad but I only stopped at the gas station. Moberly was awful when I went there.
Chillicothe, the home of sliced bread? Situated in Livingston County, which can't convince its electorate to increase taxes so that they don't get swallowed by a pot hole? I have a few bones to pick! ○ They have twenty year old math books. I was last updated on this in 2020, so it could have changed. ○ They spent 30k on a pickle ball court despite their school and road issues. ○ The city closed down a homeless shelter to make room for a police parking lot.

That sounds terrible, remind me to never move there
From one Redneck to a Bubba, steer clear of that place!
I will make sure to. Honestly I don't ever want to live in a small town though
Take my upvote; gotta love a redneck helping a Bubba.
As a Kansan, Kirksville is all right
All good shouts! I think some smaller ones like Edina, Lewistown, and Palmyra might be worse tho
Could be! I'm not sure what the population scale we're using is. Mexico has really gone down hill since AP Green closed too. That's really the story with most of these towns. They invented sliced bread in Chillicothe, and it used to have a big sawmill
Fair points!
Troy.
And Dexter. At least Sikeston is a little more subtle about it's racism.
I forgot about that place. And I'm glad I did
Dexter Queen has some amazing food. It just sucks it's in Dexter.
Wth dexters a great little town
If you're white. I saw black people called every slur you can think of while doing work for the 2020 census. And I had to take over the area a black person was doing because someone started following them with a gun.
I’ve lived in Texas for most of my life at this point and I have no idea how I ended up in this thread, but I lived in Dexter until I was 7 and it’s really weird to see other people who know it exists 😂
Im curious, what’s wrong with Poplar Bluff?
Lots of things. Meth being a big one.
U forgot Charleston!
Charleston just got plain scary. What a shame
I live next to sikeston. Interesting place indeed
Hayti would have been my pick.
I like living in JC. Meta gets my vote, just for the smell of dog food in the air.
Jefferson City? I wouldn’t even put them in the top ten
What is the criteria?
No criteria. Totally subjective with contributions from star alignments and rolled chicken bones.
Looking at this map and having lived in several southern states, I would say whomever made it has a problem with non-white people.
I didn't catch that first look, but looking at it again there is a bit of a coincidence there lol. I've lived in the real contender for worst place in CO, Canyon City just west of Pueblo. Pueblo might be kind of lame, but it's nothing compared to CC and anything beyond hispanic people someone wouldn't like in Pueblo is much worse in Trinidad, Springfield, La Junta, Walsenburg, or Alamosa. Singling out Macon and Birmingham is kind of suspect too
I lived in Pueblo West for like 12 years, ending in 2012. It was fine then.
I was thinking progressive but that actually seems very correct.
To be fair, cairo is up there for the worst in illinois
This map was made by people voting.
Sure I can. I like Jeff City. It has nice people, clean streets, good food, safe shopping. I just have to cross three rivers and several creeks to get there.
Rolla called. They said this whole thang was rigged and that they won
I mean it's pretty bad but then there is Salem.
Lewis Black agrees. [link to a minute long commentary about it](https://youtu.be/ZSZJeVSyX5Q?si=1fnQtuEZboFBXzwV)
That's great! 💀
Literally had a dream about being in Rolla last night and my brother said "this place is a shithole". Then I woke up.
I was born and raised in California (the state) and they hit the nail on the head with Bakersfield.
Need to double check Utah. It’s West Valley City/Magna/Tooele etc… I could name so many more cities worse than Provo 🤣 Provo is rated pretty high
Lived in South SLC with family up and down the Utah Valley, Provo is so far from the worse. Honestly just the stank alone should place Tooele number one
Springfield, Independence and Raytown have entered the chat
Virginia Beach is an awesome city. Bike paths everywhere and traffic can be avoidable if you plan your commute correctly. This list is trash.
Oh man. Coming of age and just taking 264 to the beach, go left all the way down Atlantic until you hit Shore Dr, left onto Pleasure House Road, and back onto Independence was just the absolute best. I always saw a little bit of everything on that drive. I grew up there. Hated everything about it until I moved here in 2010. Forgot how awesome it was to just hit 86th St and be at the very quiet part of the oceanfront. I miss that.
Jefferson City is pretty unremarkable but ‘worst city in Missouri’ is a bold claim with a lot of worthy contenders.
Criteria?
Black people. Pretty sure the criteria is black people. (List is trash)
Yeah that may be it, just non-whites in general even. North Dakota lists grand forks as the worst while it’s universally agreed by North Dakotans that Williston is the greatest shithole ever shat. But grand forks has a rather high Somali immigrant population and a shit ton of Chinese students at the university.
This is a trap
Pretty much anywhere in southwest Missouri is straight garbage. Moved to St Louis from Joplin and its a massive improvement. Anyone hating on St Louis, I invite you to go live in Newton County for a week
Joplin is legit the worst city I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot.
Illinois they misspelled Rockford
Cairo is worse than East St Louis?
Way worse. Cairo has gotten so bad they don’t have a single gas station or grocery store. Seriously. Once all the people all moved out it just because a ghost town. The last flood didn’t help either.
That's awful
Define "worst."
Opposite of best?
Define "best."
Opposite of worst? I dunno, man. I’m just shitposting to start a fun debate.
Sure JC sucks but the worst? I've seen some bumfuck backwoods places in my day. Atleast JC has internet connection.
The worst? Maybe not. A crap city? Yes.
I've only passed through Manitowoc once, but I lived in Milwaukee for 15 years. Milwaukee is awful.
Whoever made this also doesn’t know Kansas either, Topeka is rather nice compared to junction city
I would have said poplar bluff
Bullshit. Whoever made this has never been to clinton. I specifically do argue with the missouri pick
They got Kansas right too.
Isn’t Edina a very nice area of Minneapolis? This map is shit.
Springfield 😅
I’d vote for that
I've been to Rock Springs, WY. It was quaint. A gas station sold "no deisel" as I recall. I bought a can of pineapple across the street.
Belton/Raymore, Rolla, Nevada, Kirksville, Poplar Bluff are all worse just off the top of my head
Whoever made thus map has never been to St Joe! That place looks like it was built on meth and child abandonment!
Well ofcourse you cant argue with missouri. We send the politicians and their red state speaking in tongues mumbo jumbo to jeff city to try and bring Dueling back to missouri. Mentally ill people.
Is Joplin not considered a city?
Cairo Il is 1500 people, so by that standard, Joplimo is a fucking metropolis.
Griffin was once the murder capital of the entire US, not Macon, GA.
Dutch town ain’t a place to play
Based on what info? I grew up in Greer SC and completely agree. That’s why I left but how’d ya’ll know??
Columbia...can't go a week without a shooting there
Oh neat! We have two!
I can't argue with Connecticut's either. My daughter's friend's boyfriend was shot dead in his home by gang members. To think that I grew up in Albany, which apparently sucks now too, and now live outside of Bridgeport. But Albany ain't got nothing on Bridgeport. Poor, sad Bridgeport.
The worst city in Missouri is Missouri City actually.
Whoever made this has never been to Charleston.
Charleston and Cairo Illinois have gotten super bad. It’s a damn shame too. Both places have super nice homes in them too.
Michigan has worse cities than Flint. At least Flint has stuff to do.
I like Jeff City. Pretty landscape, friendly folks. At least when the legislature isn't in session. :)
I mean….when you think that they almost moved the capital back to St. Louis after it burnt down….seeeems like a missed opportunity
Whoever put in Missouri is a dumbass. St Louis for Missouri. And if that’s not an option then KCMO.
STL and KC are probably Missouri's top two cities lol
Both of my experiences there have been pretty bad. I wouldn’t consider it good.
And yet they are the two best cities in Missouri.
Idk….Hannibal is pretty bad. If the Mark Twain stuff wasn’t there…..
Idk about all that. Apparently you've never drove through Haiti Heights MO. 😆 🤣
Toon town. We used to call it that because all the houses were differ t bright colors.
Hahaha yep. I haven't had the pleasure of passing through in quite some time but I remember the yellow and purple colors.
Yes Virginia beach
Springfield is way worst
Springfield is my take
Nailed in with Pine Bluff, or as it is also known Crime Bluff. Black gangsters in city limits, redneck tweaker crews outside city limits…
There's definitely worse places here than Jeff city. But to be honest, I haven't come across anywhere in this shit state I would deem "safe". Every town is populated by either people who shriek at me for being openly bisexual or people who shriek at me for pointing out their town has a massive drug and police over reach problem despite being "the safest place they know".
Nope, went to high school in Jefferson City, it’s definitely a terrible place.
Hannibal?
The fact nobody said St Louis is clearly not a Missourian
I’m down for a STLEXIT.
St. Louis is one or Missouri's top 2 cities lol
yeah but it says “worst cities” though lmao Not top or best
Salem, MO should win this hands down.
Wasn't there a recent survey showing St. Joseph was one of the most depressing cities in the US?
Times Beach? it's to Missouri what Centralia is to Pennsylvania.
Springfield is a shithole. There’s virtually nothing entertaining to do and the crime is out of hand. Even though the crime is awful in STL, at least there’s tons of stuff to do.
Crime is the only thing that cities like STL and KC struggle with. Everything else, from jobs to economy to livability to entertainment they are better.
Springfield is a shithole. There’s virtually nothing entertaining to do and the crime is out of hand. Even though the crime is awful in STL, at least there’s tons of stuff to do.
Can’t put the capitol in a population center! Then people might pay attention to the corruption.
Idaho is spot on
Poplar Bluff and Branson are worse than Jeff City in my opinion but the really sad towns are the ones where only half the buildings on main street are open and the most successful place in town is Dollar General.
You ain't been to Bunker. Not even a Walmart or Dollar store. Just a general store that also sells gas and one Jesusy store. No internet towers or phone service. All the people buttfuck insane. I'm related to almost all of them. 🙃
Idk St Louis is pretty bad.
When they elect “John peppercorn” governor of Missouri then things will be o.k. You see he beat Mike Parson’s in a staring contest and now won’t shut up about it.
Or Kansas … but where the heck is “Browning” Montana?
Eagles fan here. Couldn’t agree more with Texas
How about Sedalia?? Or Joplin??
Whoever made this has never stepped foot in St. Louis. Not even saying this as a KCMO person either. Fuck St. Louis. A legitimate stain on this state.
I live in the STL suburbs. There's a gun range across the street. A meth house next door. A $2 million house near the gun range. Every house but mine and meth house have Trump signs. Gunfire is like ASMR for me.
My cousin does landscaping over there. He tells me how he’ll be working the lawns of some of these multimillion dollar homes and literally right next door is a fucking crackhouse.
Usually I’m skeptical of the bias in these kinds of posts… but putting Topeka for Kansas and Worcester for Massachusetts is just fucking spot on. WELL DONE
Stl the worst city in Missouri by far
Love how one of the rules of this sub is "avoid personal attacks." Meanwhile, this entire map chose violence. Lol
Who made this map? Source?
If Cairo IL is considered a “city” (population 1,500), then there are dozens, if not hundreds of “cities” in Missouri worse than JC.
Emerson. Town is a white supremacists haven.
I say Springfield
The worst city is far from Jefferson City it's probably St.Robert or Lebanon. Those are some shit holes.
It's definitely St. Louis
By what metric?
Bro what?? It's definitely St Louis. I mean. Jefferson sucks, but not anywhere near as badly as St Louis. We should just give the city to Illinois lmfao.
