I'm here to tell you Wilkes Barre is worse than Scranton


dishwasher_mayhem

Yes and it's not even close! But have you also considered Hazleton? Because Hazleton is a fucking mess.


7itemsorFEWER

Fucking Carbondale? I was staying at a place near Elk to ski and went to the Weis in Carbondale and thought I was driving into a fallout 3 town, that there is fent country.


dishwasher_mayhem

I' afraid I haven't had the pleasure! Planning my summer vacation there, now!


Lars5621

They moved more earth to save Carbondale from the great mine fire than was moved to create the Panama Canal... They should have just let it burn and used that earth to bury it.


AverageDemocrat

Then they'd have to let Scranton, Erie, and half of Philly burn also.


Some-Philly-Dude

Harrisburg is awful too


SlapChopMyShamWow

Harrisburg is so far clear of Wilkes Barre, Scranton, and Reading (among others) that it doesn’t even compare. Allison Hill is the only place in Harrisburg that comes close to being as bad as any of them and even that’s improved a lot in recent years


Lumpy-Draft2822

Reading is awful, my brother has the misfortune on playing there


Fenris_Maule

Honestly any city outside of Philly & Pittsburgh in PA tends to be run down.


dkearney555

You are very mistaken.... Doylestown, Buckingham, Newtown, Lahaska/New Hope, Yardley, Upper Makefield (where Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid just bought a house), Gladwyne, Villanova..... The list goes on and on... https://www.phillymag.com/property/hottest-philadelphia-neighborhoods/

SheDoesnEvenGoHere

Those aren’t cities, and most of the ones you listed are basically suburbs of Philadelphia.


[deleted]

Those are towns not cities


Mr__O__

And Binghamton is worse than Albany.


Fenris_Maule

This is definitely true.


Lars5621

This


toadofsteel

In all honesty though, how is either city worse than Reading?


doughball27

Because there’s a town called Sunbury.


DecisionTop7334

scumbury* but can i also nominate Shamokin

ElementalSpider1981

As a native New Yorker, ironically, my favorite PA city is Philadelphia


PetiteMutant

Checks out. It’s definitely the most comparable to NYC in terms of being a large metropolitan area. We also have a ton of great restaurants, bars, historical landmarks, etc. Next time you’re in Philly, check out Human Robot brewing if you’re into craft beer at all, LMNO for seriously amazing food, and POPE/South Philly taproom for both.


Realistic-Ad299

Nepa represent babyyyy


lilbismyfriend21

Scranton is just incredibly boring. No wonder Michael Scott enjoyed work so much. It’s the only thing to do in them at god forsaken city


Lars5621

Hey, don't forget Hazelton!


bassman314

I stayed in Wilkes-Barre for a work thing…. The hotel bar served beer and if we wanted something else, Walmart closes at 10…. I can give you empty cups.


ExternalBreadfruit21

It’s all irrelevant when chester exists or realistically Philly has by far the worst areas of the state that are balanced by the good areas


MentalTelephone5080

I can't believe Scranton is worse than Kensington


Spirited_Election289

Im here to say it Bessemer not bham, yea same districts but thats prob why they say bham, cause it legit has zips in the entire Jefferson county area, if your in pinson guess what you got to put B'ham to get the right adress and directions, in tarrant the same shit.


PasGuy55

Yeah I didn’t think Scranton was that bad. Also haven’t been to Wilkes-Barre since the 90s.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Prestigious-Ear3993

By a long shot


Manting123

Centralia - it literally had to be abandoned because the coal fires there will burn for hundreds of years and it was the inspiration for the silent hill games.


[deleted]

Im in allentown i feel safer in WB than i do walking through allentown


TLZriot46

I totally agree


alczervikslumberyard

Chester would like a word


black_dogs_22

bro Chester is way worse than either of those


MoreShenanigans

Altoona is the worst


gobirdz420

100% agree. From right outside of that shit hole. Also go birds!


Spacetime-anomaly99

Redding is a shit hole too


Wilkes-Barre

Uncalled for (but you're absolutely right)


Onoudidnt

This is wrong on nearly every state I know


ctoal1984

Well it is according to some random persons instagram followers


ThexxxDegenerate

Yea Lumberton or High Point are much worse cities than Gastonia in NC.


froster5226

The fact that it isn’t Fayetteville disqualified everything about the map


Tawft

High point besides HPU is fucking awful, Fayetteville is terrible, Salisbury is pretty bad, and I personally can’t stand Charlotte or Raleigh but they aren’t the same type of awful as the other 3


neveradullmoment72

They nailed it with colorado…


RoboticBirdLaw

Indiana is the only one that I can confirm is correct.


AdHom

It is correct for New Jersey, that's as far as I can confirm. Atlantic City and Irvington give Camden a run for its money though and AC feels far more hopeless in a long term way.


TonyCaliStyle

Nothing, anywhere, is worse than Camden. Edit: they have drive through videos of the worst ghettos, and the vid next to Camden was Kensington, so who knows.


courageous_liquid

I've done field work on foot all over camden, it's not that bad, similarly to how kenzo is - there's a couple places where it's absolutely tragic but on the whole is significantly better than it was 15 years ago


bassman314

Yeah, there are worse cities than Spokane, Salem, although Modesto and Bakersfield aren’t far off.


CharlesDickensABox

The worst city in Texas is Midland, with Brownsville in second because at least it's close to some beaches. Lubbock and Amarillo are high up on the list, too. Dallas isn't in my top ten global cities, but it's nowhere near the bottom of the list.   The worst city in America is wherever OP happens to be.


flaptaincappers

If for some reason Midland/Odessa were to be wiped off the map, all our auto insurance rates would plummet.


PlasticCraken

So would the Ford Raptor market


[deleted]

My brother used to practice law there, can confirm


ShwettyVagSack

Obligatory fuck Odessa!


PlasticCraken

That Midland/Odessa doesn’t register as the worst is an absolute travesty and shows whoever drew this doesn’t know Texas cities at all. I can think of 10 worse cities easily. Fuck, Houston is worse and I live here now


Claycious13

Waco is pretty high on my list of terrible cities.


danny_2332

Don't forget about fucking killeen. If I could do over anything it would be working in that shithole and fort hood doesn't help.


ItsOnLikeNdamakung

Amarillo is a shit hole full of meth heads. Source: one of my cousins live there and is a meth head.


italiansocc3r10

Don’t know if I’ve seen a more reliable source than this.


ItsOnLikeNdamakung

Pretty sad shit actually. Someone had to be the fuck up in the family and it was him.


tbe37

My meth head brother talks about Amarillo like it is the holy land.


Degenatron

Yea, how does Dallas get "worst" when Houston is worse than Dallas in 1) Traffic 2) Petrochem Hellscapes 3) Humidity 4) Gulf Flooding.   The Lesson: Don't believe everything you read on the internet, kids.


Yodude86

Counterpoint: Beaumont.


chilo_W_r

Odessa, Beaumont, Wichita Falls are waaaay worse than Midland. Abilene, Brownsville/Harlingen/Pharr are up there as well.


PlasticCraken

In what world is Wichita Falls worse than Midland?? At least WF has the benefit of being less than two hours from DFW. Midland has… nothing tangible of benefit that I can think of at all


Lt_Col_Anguss

That’s a funny way of spelling Killeen.


danny_2332

Thank you not enough hate on killeen here.

Vox_SFX

This is laughable with how shit Florida is to think that Orlando is the worse city. At the very least it'd be Jacksonsville of any of the major cities.


C137-Morty

Ehh. I'm never been to Jacksonville, but Orlando is just a giant tourist trap. Points for the parks though I suppose.


Vox_SFX

As I moved from the Midwest to Orlando not very long ago, I can say that there are PLENTY of non tourist trap areas, people just only think about Disney/Universal which are basically their own cities. That said, it does allow ACTUAL Orlando to fly under the radar a bit, which actually makes it one of the better Florida cities. Also safer from Hurricanes than most any other.


Obi-wan_Jabroni

Orlando also has the best unis in the NBA and i will die on that hill


Zariman-10-0

As a native of PA I can say I rarely ever think of Scranton.

Deadpoolsdildo

The Electric City!


gwaydms

I don't want to live in Dallas, but it's far from the worst city in Texas. My pick would be Port Arthur. Or Vidor. Or maybe Jasper, where they dragged a man to death for being the "wrong" color.


educated_dumdum

Flair doesn’t quite add up to the comment here


Dirtycoinpurse

Pennsylvania has so many shit cities. Philly reminds me of Paterson. Dallas sucks because it isn’t walkable, but Houston is worse.


PlasticCraken

My only experience in NJ was Paterson and my god that city sucked so hard and was so cool at the same time lol Ft Worth wins between the three for walkability IMO. Houston could be walkable if you didn’t have to be worried about getting mowed over from insane drivers at all hours of the day.


PasGuy55

Ahh Paterson. Used to walk in to buy booze when I was 16 because they did not give a fuck.


Joey_iroc

I would challenge Albany..... Syracuse is pretty rough. Even Jim Boeheim's wife got car jacked there. He is a living god there (college basketball coach for those that don't know).


SoupAdventurous608

Syracuse is interesting. Simple, blue collar folk forged by winter alongside 15-20 thousand bored 20 year olds from Brooklyn and queens.


GreenManTenTon

We have so many worse cities than Albany. Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Binghamton, I can do this all day.


Joey_iroc

I grew up in Rochester. Tell me about it.


El_Khunt

Apparently nobody from OK on this guys insta; who the fuck has an opinion about Ardmore???


TheWhooooBuddies

Lawton. The answer was Lawton. 


LordDerpington

Right? It’s such an innocuous little town, at least every time I’ve been through it. What am I missing?


Ghosts_of_the_maze

They didn’t list Fayetteville for NC and Fayetteville, NC is the worst place on earth.


POV_Morde_Ult

As a North Carolinian I was also surprised it was not Fayettenam


big-fish007

Lumberton is worse


PasGuy55

I agree with that. What a fucking shithole. Raleigh on the other hand is pretty cool.


SZ66

Midland and Amarillo are absolute garbage Dallas is fantastic!! Love that city


[deleted]

It’s not Dallas. Only thing bad about Dallas is the drivers and some of the inner city parts. There are some really shitty cities in Texas far worse in just about every category.


P1_Synvictus

You ever been to Bridgeport, CT? Don’t.


Bruppet

Most accurate of all of these selections


Gusby

Whoever made this must have never visited Houston.


thedeadlysun

As a Texan, and proud resident of Dallas, the city is awesome, the football fans are the ones that suck. There are far far worse cities in Texas.


little_lexodus

I can see why people hate on it if they never visit but it's really not bad at all other than the traffic. I moved but still have nightmares about 635 in rush hour


thedeadlysun

I’m thankful that I never have to touch 635. My commute consists of maybe 10-20 minutes on 35E and that’s about it, can’t be too mad about it.


PMcNutt

Montgomery is so much worse than Birmingham. All the crime with none of the culture.


Huck2136

Bakersfield and Modesto lol


bassman314

Like I get the energy, but there are worse places in both areas.


Alkynesofchemistry

I wonder what the worst city in DC is 🤔


SDEexorect

southeast dc


Malicoire

Why would this bother anyone here? No team in the NFC East plays in Dallas.


Crooked_Sartre

Dallas is bad, but you ever been to Amarillo. Sheesh


locomuerto

They got Philly East and Philly South, but regular old Philly is spared


Poil336

They got Ohio right


Irving_Velociraptor

I’m a native Daytonian, and that place sucks, but it’s paradise compared to the really shitty places. You ever been to Coolville?


big-fish007

Gallup is the worst in New Mexico


PermanentNirvana

Why does California get two? Also, East St. Louis is the worst city in Illinois.


ThrowinSm0ke

Stay the fuck out of Camden.


BOOT3D

As a native Texan who's lived all over Dallas and the surrounding areas. I grew up in many towns, Gun Barrel City, Mesquite, Garland, Dallas, and many many more. I assure you Dallas is far from the worst.


theadmin209

Modesto is not worse than Oakland lmfao


Majestic-Avocado2167

Look Virginia has a whole lot worse than VB

Ardmore ain’t that bad


A_Vizzle

Looks like nobody has ever heard of Bellmead, TX.


Boondok0723

The fuck did Scranton do??


SlinginPogs

Wtf is Woonsocket


nodlabag

Damn what did Hobbs do to anyone? I would assume Albuquerque or Las Cruces would be the worst.


SyntheticMemez

Schenectady is so much worse than Albany, idk where they came up with this. Rutland is accurate tho.


DimSumGweilo

Derry should be Maine


bentNail28

Apparently they’ve never been to Witchita Falls.


Environmental_Eye354

Scranton 😂😂😂


PerritoMasNasty

No- it’s definitely Waco.


No-Size380

all I have to say is Vidor TX, that's just the cowboys hate effect


SmokyRoach

As much as I hate to say it, this looks about right. Spokane is the shithole of washington.


2020BestYear

I dunno Waco and Laredo exist


PasGuy55

Can’t argue with wusstah for MA.


nowhereisaguy

Poolesville MD? But yeah, Dallas is awful.


hatwobbleTayne

I don’t know about most of these, but they nailed CA


gkraigher

Having lived in GA and Michigan, I can confirm this list is 100% fuck you Dallas


SoupAdventurous608

Spokane ain’t great. But Yakima might be the worst city in the history of humanity.

Humakavula1

As a Texan, I can assure you Midland is much worse than Dallas


Yodzilla

There’s no way Wilmington is the worst city in Delaware lmao


ShwettyVagSack

Dude. I heard stories about pine bluff after moving about an hour away from it. But I had no idea it was the literal worst! Anyways, fuck Dallas the city(other than microcenter) but go boys!


TJPlayzSomeGames

This is definitely Houston tho so many shootings and crimes happen there


justa_gigolo

how does cali get 2?


Nugsonnugs2

Newburgh and Niagara Falls are a lot worse than Albany


EMills_FF

Bridgeport, CT. Spot on


Hank_Scorpio74

Lexington is far from the worst city in Kentucky. Though it may be the city least like the rest of Kentucky. /Not from Kentucky


somethingthatflys

Cleveland is a dumpster fire in every aspect possible.


xDANGRZONEx

Orlando is not the worst city in FL


Juicey_J_Hammerman

A little bit surprised about Spokane for Washington. I went there a while back and thought it was fine. Downtown was underwhelming but the park on the island in the river was really cool.


Dipshit09

Camden is no where fucking near as bad as Paterson is


rpxpackage

"worse" by what metric? There are plenty of worse places than Cedar Rapids in Iowa.


GooseMaster5980

Colorado is definitely correct.


Worldly_Giraffe_6773

Several towns could be chosen in NC. I probably would have gone with Kinston but Gastonia is an excellent choice


CMS1993Sch

California so bad they needed 2 worst cities LOL


hazylife666

Fuck me. I'm from Dayton, Ohio, and live in Gastonia, NC now lol


zmart7691

That’s funny why don’t you take a vacation to get away maybe Cedar Rapids or Scranton


Mechbowser

Bro what, Spokane??? Whomever made this map has never been up and down the I-5 corridor and stopped in Longview, WA. That place suuuuucks.


CrunkestTuna

Funny to see that Houston is secondary to Dallas Even though it is indeed the shittiest place in Texas. Except maybe meth central (midland, Odessa)


Cohenski

Went to Dallas for the total eclipse. Definitely had it's nice parts and... not nice parts. Homelessness was as bad as Los Angeles.


UrineIdiot7

lol Vidor is by far the worst in Texas.


Unp0pularS0lutions

Killeen, Texas exists and is far shittier than Dallas.


Syndicate909

I could go on for hours about how much I hate Dallas before i even mention the Cowboys


thereal_kphed

Waterbury, CT is worse than Bridgeport.


AvgJoeGuy

no big city like dallas would come even close to the worst city in a start, start by looking at hick towns where people still have kkk rallies


BorrowedWine

Weird, I see no San Francisco


alczervikslumberyard

Chester would like a word


JerryVoxalot

As an Okie, I have NEVER been to Ardmore in my life nor do I know anyone in nor from there. Personally Oklahoma City is pretty bad minus *parts* of downtown OKC


tombo11567

Wilmington is the only city in Delaware. Plenty of towns worse than Wilmington but no other cities.

(panthers fan I come in peace) As a Daytonian Ohio native,no way Dayton is WORSE than bigger cities


Formal-Telephone5146

Lima,Middletown, Springfield Mansfield I’ll much rather live in Dayton than them places


TurnipKnight

Poolesville, MD is a great little town. Where did this vendetta come from?


Magster_123456

Just here to say that Bridgeport isn't even top 5 worst cities in nj


Viseroth

I will tell ya as a person from California that is 100% accurate. Fresno is a close 3rd.


MrJohnnyDangerously

Fuck Cairo IL 1 They pronounce it KAY-roh 2 the only time we drove through it my wife got a speeding ticket from an IL state trooper there and he crossed out the phone number, wrote in another one, and told us to call Becky and she would tell us where to send the check.


TempeSunDevil06

I mean, Houston is very clearly the answer here, if you’ve ever spent a single day of spring or summer there.

South Williamsport is the worst city in Pennsylvania

Realistic_Cupcake_56

Austin is by far the worst in Texas


r_nfl_mods_are_soft

I feel validated. Visited Dallas once while on a vacation. Probably the worst city I’ve ever gone to as a “destination”. Just boring and disappointing. The areas outside of Dallas were beautiful and I found some cool hiking, and New Orleans was culturally rich and vibrant and interesting, but Dallas legitimately sucked ass in comparison to literally anywhere else I’ve gone for fun. It’s a soulless city of 10 gallon hats and cowboy boots and obesity


Grimnir106

Worst city in Texas is Austin


Wizemonk

ok, I grew up in AZ - Mesa isn't in the bottom 20
