People In This Online Group Share The 30 Most Unpleasant-Looking Cities In America They’ve Ever Visited

Las Vegas is not just the strip...next time drive a few miles in either direction then you can pass judgement. This hiker's paradise is 20 minutes from the strip and still in Las Vegas 29f460d205...f07889.jpg

Vegas will return to dust in less than 50 years from now on, anyway. No more water.

wow. las vegas (really clark county) is one of my favorite places to visit (in the states).

I have a friend who lives in Vegas. His home, like a lot of other homes. are on the sides of the "mountains" surrounding the city. They are beautiful and NOT mansions, just middle class home and they are cooler in the summer.

I've never understood the draw to that place. Everything I've seen about it looks awful. A place to avoid.

We consider it the butt crack of California.

looks like Sauron

It smells like onions and cow poo

NOFX pokes fun at Bakersfield in some songs.

Don't go to Mexico you will not like sepia...(just kidding)

Yeah I was raised in Gary. It's sad to see your city dying. It wasn't always like that. The city is ugly but there are still beautiful ppl there. Still it's a sad gray city.

Yeah, but it trips along softly on the tongue.

There is a company called US Steel in Gary. If you have ever been in a steel framed building East of the Rocky Mountains, odds are excellent it started in Gary. That includes nearly every building in Manhattan. There is even a plaque at the base of the Empire State Building thanking the steel workers of Gary. The city might not be as colorful as Miami. But it is home to some of the hardest working people in America.

There is room on that road to expand the pavements to put in a line of trees on either side of the road and a bus and cycle lane on each side.

What's round on both sides and high in the middle? OHIO!!!!

Feels like the kind of town you'd pass through in zombie movies/games...

Sadly this is what happens when companies move manufacturing to other countries.

I have a coworker from Youngstown. I said I'd heard of it but couldn't remember why. He said it couldn't have been anything good.

looks drab and sad.

Yes yes yes.that town is just sad

Aberdeen and Hoquiam are sad, dying timber towns. Maybe those “I can work from anywhere” billionaires will move in and boost it.

It’s sad because the town could have had so much potential, but it’s incredibly depressing to drive through. Fun fact: in the early 20th century, it was nicknamed, “The Hellhole of the Pacific.”

Yes, the first time I drove through Aberdeen that’s the exact thought I had about Kurt Cobain too.

The lumber industry never recovered out there. First saw the place in 1987 before "Nirvana" put it back on the map. Still the same, I guess. The areas around are beautiful.

Second entry for poor Bakersfield!

mentioned twice

This image is from way out in the boonies, hardly could consider it Bakersfield

You mean Downtown LA - so many people only think of downtown - next time venture out a little and you'll disocver LA is HUGE and there are a lot of great gems. Downtown is indeed depressing though

L.A. has some of the best restaurants in the world.

LA is more like a broad-spectrum zone of habitation - it's a bunch of different settlements all absorbed into a mass of whatever. It's got some great sites, and some searingly awful stuff. Really hard to sum up. I've worked there many times.

Born and raised in L.A. love it!

It's broken dreams

Well you know, whoever designed, planned etc this will be related to errrm, well those in control who have the pennies. Same everywhere

Central valley in California is gross, dull, uninspiring, and destitute

So it must go to stand that good music comes from ugly places. Hello Grandaddy.

I've never been there and only think of the murder of Lacey Peterson and unborn baby at the vile hands of her spouse

215,000 people within the bounds of this photo? That's absolutely AMAZING! How big are those "vehicles"? And those things that look like houses must be absolutely immense...I mean we're talking HUGE amounts of HUGELY immense proportions here!

For me the depression is the laws they have against women, lgbtq and in favour of guns!
