What city is the armpit of America?

[sledgehammer]

Feel free to let everyone else know what city you think is the armpit of America and why you feel that way.

I personally think it's Chicago because of its traffic, pollution, and crime. Not to mention the fact that most of the buildings there are old and run down.

[Priest Dante]

Detroit or DC.

[BroncoMatt]

KC is the armpit of America
Oakland is the a$$hole of America

[orange 4 life]

oakland. end of discussion.

[Tombstone RJ]

Detroit or DC.


Ditto.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

You guys are letting your sports rivalries cloud the picture...no city with an NFL franchise is an armpit.

I'd imagine the true armpit of america is somewhere in Louisiana.

[Hogan11]

For me, it's a toss up between Salt Lake City and Miami

[BroncoMatt]

You guys are letting your sports rivalries cloud the picture...no city with an NFL franchise is an armpit.


You are right, the Bay area isn't bad.

[Nuggets4]

DetRiot.

[elsid13]

Sheveport LA I hated that place, DC is alot better then you think, alot of revitalization going in most part of the city.

[clint7]

Gary, Indiana...they declare martial law on a monthly basis in that crap hole.

[telluride]

Fort Worth

[plummershelper]

Butte, Montana or Bootie Montucky as my uncle calls it. It is most literally the anus of America!

[Paladin]

DC: Can you get out to see it without an armed escort?

Actually that is not a rhetorical Question. My wife and I are thinking of going to DC to see the usual sights, and then move on to maybe the Northeast coast area. So, It is not an idle question.

[baja]

For me it is Houston Texas

[Sassy]

Miami.

I totally agree with you. But still, there are some pretty dirty cities with NFL teams.

Like detroit.

[Maximus]

Buffalo NY

Detroit sucks ass... Big time.

Cincinatti is pretty bad too.

It major city, with more law enforcement then any where elsein the world, it safe and fun. If you want to go to watch the Senate or House in action contact your rep to get access to the building. Plus try to see the Spy Museum which is very cool for everyone. Only suggestion is to stay away in August, due to the weather- hot and very sticky.

[-Slap-]

I spent a month in Coachella, California one weekend.

I got lost lost in East St Louis one time and that was scary

Getting shot at in Juarez was no fun either

Gainesville, Florida

[Hogan11]

I hate the Beltway......it's a nightmarish Hwy that's absolutely miserable to travel on.

[SoCalBronco]

Gainesville, Florida

Been there once, the stadium might be called "The Swamp," but the city should be called "The Sewer."

Been there once, the stadium might be called "The Swamp," but the city should be called "The Sewer."

yep, ive heard many people call it "Hogtown".

[FADERPROOF]

yep, ive heard many people call it "Hogtown".

Only place that I've been to that had a city wide smell to it, a hogtown indeed. Trash all on the ground, just swampy, wet conditions, old folks in overalls outside on the porch hammering beer down, all great qualities of of Gainesville.

[El Guapo]

haha, i was going to say my hometown of el paso. :D

I have traveled quite often for business over the last 30 years so I have a long list. It may not be the worst city in America, but the hardest I know for a business traveler is Boston. I swear the Revolutionary War is a myth. The British just got lost, gave up and went home.

Good thing I don't like the squaws because every time I go to KC I get pissed off at the people. Oakland, Cleveland and Detroit are scary if you don't know where you are going. I am in the minority, but I don't like Seattle because the whole area smells like diesel fuel from the shipping. New York can be fun but in the springtime you are greeted by the sweet smell of the piss on ths streets as the weather warms. Pittsburgh just sucks.

However, in my mind, the a-hole of America is the south Bend, Gary, Hammond corridor. Just need to bulldoze the entire area and build a new Chicago airport on the site.

[Sassy]

I also hate New York City.

[baja]

How can you possibly hate NYC

Now if you said New Yorkers that I could understand.

I wish I could find one of Jim Murray's articles vivisecting some random American city. Those were always good for a chuckle.

That's where Michael Jackson grew up.

Detroit. Instead of hands down, with middle fingers up.

I have never been to Detroit but out of the cities I have been to. I would have to list Washington D.C. and Memphis right up there but El Paso is hands down the worse.

If You're Expecting One-Liners, Wait, a Column

Jim Murray - The Los Angeles Times

JULY 1, 1979

OK, bang the drum slowly, professor. Muffle the cymbals and the laugh track. You might say that Old Blue Eye is back. But that's as funny as this is going to get.

I feel I owe my friends an explanation as to where I've been all these weeks. Believe me, I would rather have been in a press box.

I lost an old friend the other day. He was blue-eyed, impish, he cried a lot with me, saw a great many things with me. I don't know why he left me. Boredom, perhaps.

We read a lot of books together, we did a lot of crossword puzzles together, we saw films together. He had a pretty exciting life. He saw Babe Ruth hit a home run when we were both 12 years old. He saw Willie Mays steal second base, he saw Maury Wills steal his 104th base. He saw Rocky Marciano get up. I thought he led a pretty good life.

One night a long time ago he saw this pretty girl who laughed a lot, played the piano and he couldn't look away from her. Later he looked on as I married this pretty lady.

He saw her through 34 years. He loved to see her laugh, he loved to see her happy.

You see, the friend I lost was my eye. My good eye. The other eye, the right one, we've been carrying for years. We just let him tag along like Don Quixote's nag. It's been a long time since he could read the number on a halfback or tell whether a ball was fair or foul or even which fighter was down.

So, one blue eye missing and the other misses a lot.

So my best friend left me, at least temporarily, in a twilight world where it's always 8 o'clock on a summer night.

He stole away like a thief in the night and he took a lot with him. But not everything. He left a lot of memories. He couldn't take those with him. He just took the future with him and the present. He couldn't take the past.

I don't know why he had to go. I thought we were pals. I thought the things we did together we enjoyed doing together. Sure, we cried together. There were things to cry about.

But it was a long, good relationship, a happy one. It went all the way back to the days when we arranged all the marbles in a circle in the dirt in the lots in Connecticut. We played one-old-cat baseball. We saw curveballs together, trying to hit them or catch them. We looked through a catcher's mask together. We were partners in every sense of the word.

He recorded the happy moments, the miracle of children, the beauty of a Pacific sunset, snowcapped mountains, faces on Christmas morning. He allowed me to hit fly balls to young sons in uniforms two sizes too large, to see a pretty daughter march in halftime parades. He allowed me to see most of the major sports events of our time. I suppose I should be grateful that he didn't drift away when I was 12 or 15 or 29 but stuck around over 50 years until we had a vault of memories. Still, I'm only human. I'd like to see again, if possible, Rocky Marciano with his nose bleeding, behind on points and the other guy coming.

I guess I would like to see Reggie Jackson with the count 3-and-2 and the series on the line, guessing fastball. I guess I'd like to see Rod Carew with men on first and second and no place to put him, and the pitcher wishing he were standing in the rain someplace, reluctant to let go of the ball.

I'd like to see Stan Musial crouched around a curveball one more time. I'd like to see Don Drysdale trying to not laugh as a young hitter came up there with both feet in the bucket.

I'd like to see Sandy Koufax just once more facing Willie Mays with a no-hitter on the line. I'd like to see Maury Wills with a big lead against a pitcher with a good move. I'd like to see Roberto Clemente with the ball and a guy trying to go from first to third. I'd like to see Pete Rose sliding into home headfirst.

I'd like once more to see Henry Aaron standing there with that quiet bat, a study in deadliness. I'd like to see Bob Gibson scowling at a hitter as if he had some nerve just to pick up a bat. I'd like to see Elroy Hirsch going out for a long one from Bob Waterfield, Johnny Unitas in high-cuts picking apart a zone defense. I'd like to see Casey Stengel walking to the mound on his gnarled old legs to take a pitcher out, beckoning his gnarled old finger behind his back.

I'd like to see Sugar Ray Robinson or Muhammad Ali giving a recital, a ballet, not a fight. Also, to be sure, I'd like to see a sky full of stars, moonlight on the water, and yes, the tips of a royal flush peeking out as I fan out a poker hand, and yes, a straight two-foot putt.

Come to think of it, I'm lucky. I saw all of those things. I see them yet.

Now...that would get me into big trouble if that were the case ;D :devil: Ha!

New York smells like garbage and the people are just rude...but not quite as bad as Paris (but you said US...Actually, minus the rude people, I love Paris...I love the style and the oldness of the city...like New Orleans ;D )

How could Salt Lake City be the armpit? Say what you want about the culture, but it is a clean city right up against the mountains - far from an armpit.

There are three cities that stand out for me:

Buffalo, NY - I lived there for a short time. I came away convinced that the whole city is descendants of some brother and sister that burrowed away to start their own family.

Kansas City, MO - I will admit that some of this comes from my disdain for the Chiefs - but that isn't all of it. They call themselves "The Show Me State" because they are a bunch of distrustful schmucks. And they really are the mullet capital of the US.

Cleveland, OH - A city that is just a bad idea.

I really couldn't stand it....plus it was a drought year when I was there, which made it even more pungent.

It literally made me sick to my stomach...I puked all over that city, even right outside the Tabernackle.

Yeah, I harbor a lot of love for a place that has that effect on me...::)

I grew up in Johnson County which is outside of KC and I do not know where all this mullet talk comes from. I see like maybe 1 or 2 when I go to any sporting events and usually that person is getting ridiculed by other Kansan/Missourians(OK if I ever went to a nascar event I may change that number). KC has some bad parts but it's mostly okay. I would understand if you said it was pretty boring there but it's not really an armpit populated by mulletheads. Seriously, where did the mullet thing come from when talking about KC?

For those who live in So Cal, or know the area really well, all I got to say is the 909. That would be Riverside, Fontana, Ontario, Rialto. Pretty much the entire San Bernardino valley. It smells like an armpit because of all the ranches. The smog from LA gets blown out there and just sits there. That place probably has more meth labs than any place in the world. Fontana is refered to as Fontucky all the time.

[ClevelandBronco2]

...Any city in Texas
Any city in Ohio...

You ain't kidding. I started out in Cleveland, grew up in several towns in Ohio, then moved to El Paso right after college. My family is pretty much scattered all over Texas these days, and I hate every place they live. Inexplicably, they all think Denver is some kind of Arctic tundra.

El Paso gets my vote for the worst city in the U.S., but in many ways it's not an American city at all, so I'm not convinced that it qualifies.

And there's one exception in Ohio: Oxford, home of Miami University. Pretty nice little town.

[Sassy]

Bakersfield...

Been through that Riverside/Ontario area often. Stinks unbelievably, slag heaps and feed-lots galore. Oddly, though, the best rainbow I've ever seen was on the I-15 just south of Riverside where the traffic and feed-lots are finally thinning out. It was a double-rainbow and it was super-clear and defined. One of the two rainbows you could see it ended right on the median. People were stopped on the shoulder taking pictures. That was in 1992.

I can vouch for that. I was at the Springs downtown at 4 AM last summer at the Bus Terminal picking up an aunt. And I did a lap around the parking lot, checking things out. Once I finally found a spot I liked, I got out of the car with my knife in my hand, I guarantee. My wife asked what I was doing, I told her to shut up, stay in the car. I guarantee I didn't want to be distracted by a woman at that time. I was pretty surprised at the sharks circling in that bus lot.

The funny thing about Riverside county and San Bernadino county is that rich people from Orange County and LA are selling their homes and moving out to the Inland Empire. With the housing market so screwed up they're selling for millions, moving a few miles away to the IE and living the rich life. The property value in the IE is now just a ridiculous as LA and the OC. The migration is on.

I was plenty surprised by what I saw at that terminal. My "watch out" antenna went up just driving in front of the terminal on the street. Once I got in the lot in back, and I saw groups of people stop talking among themselves and start focusing on my car, I knew there was reason to get weapons at hand. I had to park, but if I didn't have to park, I wouldn't have.

I can vouch for him, they were ugly. These characters, I couldn't believe they were all there togehter just randomly waiting for random passengers. They were in groups in the parking lot where the lights didn't get to. Hence, I started gathering weapons before I parked.

And some of the lot-scum were diving into the luggage bays of the bus, competing with the driver to get their hands on bags. If I was Quentin Tarantino making a movie about scumbags moving contraband, I'd hang out at the Colorado Springs Bus Terminal for a few weeks so I could get a feel for the characters.

I have driven all over Iraq. Been in downtown Mosul, Baghdad, Tikrit, Ramadi and Fuluja but I was never more nervous that the night I spent in El Paso. We went to a bar and I swear to God I thought we were going to get stuck with a knife. We left that one went to another and it was all the same. Hell, stopped at a Quick Mart to get gas and even that was scary as hell. Police sirens going off all over the place.

If it's past 10 pm and your out and about in El Paso you better really watch yourself.

I understand Portland, Oregon is another contender for meth capital of the world.

I lived in Portland for ten years. And no joke, in the time I was there two meth houses were busted in my neighborhood. The neighborhood was a nice one, something you wouldn't expect. Besides that, Portland is a beautiful city and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the city life and the great outdoors.

[Rock Chalk]

How could Salt Lake City be the armpit? Say what you want about the culture, but it is a clean city right up against the mountains - far from an armpit.

Armpit dude. Smells like rotten stagnant water from the Salt Lake, cant buy beer on Sunday, hard to buy beer any other day. People marry forty women. Its an armpit dude.

I was just recovering from my visit to that godawful place when I went and saw Old Faithful go off in Yellowstone. I thought it was pretty cool until I got a whiff of it.....same smell hit me again and I barely made it to the restroom before I lost it. It was the only trip I ever took that I came back a few pounds lighter from.

Something about that intense sulfer smell...it makes me physically ill.....the smell of that liquid pig crap the farms spread gets to me like that as well, instant stomach emptying within two minutes tops.....needless to say, I stay out of the country as much as humanly possible.

[RaiderH8r]

DC: Can you get out to see it without an armed escort?

Actually that is not a rhetorical Question. My wife and I are thinking of going to DC to see the usual sights, and then move on to maybe the Northeast coast area. So, It is not an idle question.
Yeah you can. The tourist areas are well policed. Cap Hill and the Mall are pretty much where you'll spend your time so you'll be cool. If you end up in Anacostia just don't stop the car and head for the Washington Monument, it's the beacon of safety.

[watermock]

I have been alot of places, but my cousin said Washington D.C. was filthy.

I guess when you have a crack whore as Mayor, you can expect it.

Miami is horrible as well. Unless your in a gated community, it's a rat nest.

Jackson, Mississippi is somthing you don't want to miss. The kids there run at 30 mph. Good place to get raw talent, just have to look out for deer.

Human deer.

I can't believe anyone would live in Los Angeles. They have interstates 16 wide that travel at 10 mph.

Las Vegas has a very dark side.

Crappiest city? I have to give the nod to Miami or Washington D.C.

[Ninjafied]

I’ve never been there, but I hear that Brownsville, Texas is as bad as it gets. Supposed to be like El Paso just not as prosperous. Never plan on going there, so I’ll have to take peoples word on that.
As far as places I’ve been, East St. Louis, Illinois is the dregs. So poor they don’t have street lights there. I also hear the local police force is next to nil, meaning the highway patrol has to answer most of the calls.

[watermock]

It makes 'Little Cuba' in the game Vice City look like a well-to-do neighborhood.

[Pezman]

For those who live in So Cal, or know the area really well, all I got to say is the 909. That would be Riverside, Fontana, Ontario, Rialto. Pretty much the entire San Bernardino valley. It smells like an armpit because of all the ranches. The smog from LA gets blown out there and just sits there. That place probably has more meth labs than any place in the world. Fontana is refered to as Fontucky all the time.

909ers, You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons. ROFL!

Having been here to experience the 909 firsthand, Rivertucky...errr Crackside....errr Palookavile's homely persona is quite justified to me. Horrible traffic, unending pollution from L.A., summer heat that is ungodly and an oppresive police force. Need I remind everyone that the Zodiac killer was from Riverside?



As for other "lovely" towns I've seen in my travels... Cleveland has to be one. Just stunningly ugly for a town so close to the water. Trees are M.I.A. in that town.

Millikan, CO isnt exactly a paradise. Right smack dab in the middle of cow country, the smell there is horrid.

I wasnt impressed with pretty much any town between the Colorado border on 1-70 through most of Kansas. But, Salina gets special props for being a great reminder of a dung heap.

I know people love New Orleans. But I just dont get it. It smells like piss and puke everywhere along the downtown area and the outskirts of town are just flat out poverty stricken.

Another one I hated was Des Moines, Iowa. With a fashion trend that is only 10 years behind the times, a depressing and desolate downtown, high crime area and dingy look, this town needs to be flushed and started over again...

[watermock]

Well, I'm booking Camden N.J. on my itinerary.

To hell with the Yucatan, I'm going postal!

[watermock]

Millikan, CO isnt exactly a paradise.

Manure doen't even phase me. We use it all the time to help the soil. The problem is the amonia...but that burns off.. The smell of death I can't handle at all. I can't handle death, I bawl like a moron. The smell of death makes me ill. I'm wringing my hands.

I supposed I could handle it if I had to fight, once I threw up a few times.

Most of you folk never grew up on the farm huh...

I did.

When the cow went down and bloated to the size of a buffalo, whewde do@

Flies having a feast on it's nose, it's unreal.

Foulest place I've ever been: Gary, Indiana. They ought to nuke it. A stinking, radioactive hole in the ground would be an improvement.

I’ve never been there, but I hear that Brownsville, Texas is as bad as it gets. Supposed to be like El Paso just not as prosperous.

Prosperous? El Paso?

Denver is a s h i thole as is Kansas Shi tty.

You know, Oakland is actually the place the famous author was talking about when she said, "There's no there, there."

I would of made a good medic in WW2, or maybe even now, but im 45.

The old man who cut my cat's nuts off and clipped his nails told me about war. He's 86.

I always push vets to tell stories, but sometimes they can't handle it.

The old man became a vet doc, but was a medic. When his eyes tear up, I stop. He's Beezlebubs personal doctor, or mutlilator, depending on who you ask.

I call him my vet, Beezlebub calls him Dr. Mengle.

Whatever Tred. Pasadena(aka Stinkadena) and Baytown stink but what do you expect, all the refineries are there. Houston itself doesnt stink and the Clear Lake area where I live is awesome.

And NEITHER place smells as bad as Salt Lake City period.

Houston itself does stink. It has some musty, dusty, moldy smell all the time.
I don't post it to irritate you. I post it because I find it to be true. The city always smells like some damp, enclosed and decaying place. Thats as close as I can come to describing it.

When I was a tiny porker, we went from Atlantic to St. Joseph with three pigs. I'm not kidding, we had them in the pickup(with an iron cage). It was on the news, my mug at about 6 herding these pigs. I hate pigs. They are way to smart for their own good.

Anyone who has raised pigs knows what I'm dealing with. Hell, mock has birthed pigs from sows.

Heat lamps and twelve titties.

Mock is also in the trucking business. I got a truck for 6k, and with another 3k, it hauled in 6k it's first week on the road.

I have 3 trucks on the road now. It's just a matter of making sure they can still burn. We don't put out junk, just high milers. They are money machines. I plop a load of bannanas and make money.

We are going to buy more old semis, recondition them, title them and haul more bananas.

to be nitpicky, colorado springs is the meth capital of north america. never seen so many junkies before, but my numbers may be skewed. i work for greyhound...so to ride the bus, you are probably better off on meth.

I assume you have never been to Hawaii. I don't know how you can honestly say that Colo. Spgs is the armpit of the country. It's not a metropolitan mecca by any means, but armpit? Come on, tell us the real reason, you had an ex from Colorado Springs didn't you?

[watermock]

That goes without saying. I guess we've all had to learn how to peel placenta off the snoot.

My dad was creepy. He made me touch the hand of Gramps when his was dead.

And I was 5.

He said "this is death"

Now I blather like a moron at all funerals. I avoid them, but sometimes they get pushed in my face.

You know what it's like to cry like a banshee while the widow is keeping it in...

beyond comedy.

Then I have to haul the casket around...

It's unreal.

When they make me haul a dead body around again, I dunno.

I buck up, but damn.

He's totally ungratefull, shows no affection, and he bites the hand that feeds him.

He smells, he takes his own spot on the bed, and can't speak French. I have to pick up after him, every time he brings in his own meal it's either a mouse, rat or wabbit.

So he drags in food and wants me to cook it?

He's on my bed chewing off dingleberries.

You mean off the B/W Parkway, 495? Hey, we may have 'run into' each other! !Booya!

Just drive 80-100mph and you'll be okay. But stay out of the slow lanes if you can't get above 70mph. If it rains a lot, stay in the fast lane and swerve between trucks. Trust me, it works. ;D

495 bites, especially where the BW connects. On a weekend, little traffic I'm front door to office door in 10 minutes. Rush hour....hour and a half...at least that's what it was today. There were rubberneckers just before the 14th St. bridge. I hate rubberneckers. And when are they going to finish the Woody Wilson, that thing's like the Chiefs....year 15 of a 5 year project.

I think most of rural america and midsized towns in the west are struggling with the meth problem. It's easy to brew when you have a farm and the nearest neighbor is 20 miles away. Privacy is key.

Actually, most of the meth houses in GJ are in the tiny neighborhoods where everyone is on top of each other. The big thing for it is that it has an intersection between Highway 50 and I-70.

[Jason in LA]

Out in the 909, the meth labs are in trailor homes. Those things blow up pretty easy.

No I post it because it is true. Irritating you is just one of those fringe benefits. You've probably got the same damp, creeping mold growing in your sinus cavities so you no longer smell it. Believe me, people from a fabulously correct dry climate are immediately aware of the dead poop bayou swamp smell. It's nearly a visable miasma hanging over the city.

I'll give you the same advice I give all tourists.

Get familiar with the Metro, it's easy and clean. Don't drive. You will probably be inside the beltway so you won't have to deal w/495 traffic.

Don't ride metro during Rush Hour, stay outta my way.

Don't congregate at the turnstyles in the metro figuring out what you're to do. Stand aside.

Escalators on the metro...stand right, walk left. You'll see what I mean when you get here.

All monuments, except Mt. Vernon, are pretty much metro accessable so it's cool like that.

Do walking tours in the morning or night, museums during hot hours of the day. Museums have air conditioning.

You don't need to ride the Green line. If you find yourself in Anacostia go toward the monument or find a cop. They'll escort you out of the hood.

Use Gold Bond medicated powder on your nads and taint or you'll get a nasty case of swamp ass.

I lived in Portland for ten years. And no joke, in the time I was there two meth houses were busted in my neighborhood. The neighborhood was a nice one, something you wouldn't expect. Besides that, Portland is a beautiful city and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the city life and the great outdoors.

This goes to show that the only people that care about New York are New Yorkers. Those people act like that place is the center of the universe. Like everybody is watching them. I've been there once, when I was about 14. I wasted a couple of hours waiting in a line to walk up to the top of the Statue of Liberty. My damn brother whined and whined to do it, so we all had to do it. Biggest waste of time ever. You walk up, look out the window, then walk back down. We missed the first two innings of the Mets vs. Dodgers because of it.

[bendog]

Cleveland or someplace in Ohio.

[DennisSmithHOF]

Detroit isn't as bad as its reputation. Down by old Tiger Stadium is probably the worst neighborhood I have ever seen. However, they are really trying there especially where Ford Field and Comerica Park are. Both of those places are nice.

I have to second the post that stated either Flint, MI or Gary, IN. Gary has to be the worst of the two, but Flint is pretty close, so is Saginaw.

Toledo is also another cool ass place, Toledo U is the nicest campus that I've been to and right next to Toledo is a place called Sandusky, where the best damn amusement park in the US resides in, Cedar Point.

Then the Akron/Canton area is also pretty cool, great high school football there and the football hall of fame. And I have to like Columbus, the best damn team in the land is there.

Hogan - Quite a few years ago I turned on a shower in New Orleans (to be fair it was in a camp ground and not a private home or anything like that) and the water smelled like rotten eggs. I've never figured out how people could stand bathing in that, let alone brush their teeth - or actually drink the stuff. It is one of the most nauseating smells, ever. I can understand Old Faithful being a bit stinky, but not water coming out of a tap.

Being a Man of the great indoors, I'm not up on the smell of campground tap water.....but I don't doubt you on it Tred, I've encountered that very same thing at various places in the south.

The difference is that the odor is not ever present like it is in SLC....like I said earlier, even the AC going full blast and a couple of air fresheners can't overcome the smell of that lake....There's no escape from it and that makes it literally hell on Earth for me.

I like central and northern Ohio, it;s the south that sucks bad. I may be in the minority, but I love Cleveland, sometimes I'll just drive there to cruise around, just like the city, the things to do, just the atmosphere is cool.

I'm sorry bro, but your damn lake caught on fire. That's a problem. That's not a "good city".

That was 1978 though, and it was the Cuyahoga River(not Lake Erie.)

[Hogan11]

How bout the Browns?

Nice stadium, bad team.....I'm hoping to make that the Denver road game I go to next year

[bendog]

heard they say they cleaned it up, but clev sucks cause .... it's clev

only good thing to come from clev is tommy jackson and, of course, the ernest byner choke and marty's choke in playing not to lose in the drive

btw, I didn't go to the duke's induction cause canton is in Ohio. the whole freakin state sucks worse than kansas.

[FADERPROOF]

Mw too, but I dfo take the back the thigns I said about the Browns fans when we talked a few weeks back while you were in Cleveland. They still hate us, big time, and it will be a volite situation inside that stadium.

I was there for the Ravens and Patriots games last year, and Browns fans were brutal to opposing fans, and yes even though the Browns had 2 wins at the time, they still **** talked the Patriots fans all to hell.

I'm going, but I want a group of us to go, I don't feel like walking into that stadium as the only person with a Broncos jersey on.

[jhat01]

I lived in Baltimore for awhile and kind of liked it. There was always a kick ass place to party at. But there were a few places that you didn't want to go.....

[Grommett]

Almost every military town I got stuck in was a pit.

Daleville, Alabama - Had run in with a guy at a tattoo parlor over his membership in the KKK.

Killeen, TX - Stopped at a stop sign off D St. and a transvestite jumps in the car asking me if I wanted a "date." I said "Sure" and drove straight to the Police Station. Was pretty funny seeing it get out and run in those high heels.

Colorado Springs - Had to pull my girlfriends 6 yr old daughter out of the way of a gang fight at the Mall. Took a good 5 mins for the cops to show up. By that time one guy had been worked over pretty good. Pretty bad gang action around that mall. Can't remember the name, there was Citadel and Chapel Hills. Whichever was the closest to Ft Carson was the worst.

Also broke down and pulled off the freeway in Dallas one night. Cop drives up and tells me and my buddy we are in the wrong part of town with the wrong type of car. He stayed there until the tow truck showed up. Don't know what part of town it was, but it must have been bad for that cop to hang out with us like he did.

[Tredici]

I'm sorry bro, but your damn lake caught on fire. That's a problem. That's not a "good city".


It was the river. And I was going to ask if that was Cleveland or Cincy?

Actually, I think Cleveland has done a good job of reclaiming the city. I wouldn't want to live there but I now know some people who do.

[Jori]

I always heard that Detroit was the Beirut of America and New Jersey is the armpit.

I was in Detroit last summer. They are trying to build up the downtown area around Ford Field and CoPa; similar to what happened in LoDo after Coors Field opened. CoPa is a beautiful ball park, but certain parts of the city are really run down. All I can say is that as an Avs fan...I survived being in the Hockeytown Cafe ;D

[rbackfactory80]

I also hate New York City.

Yeah right, it only stands for everything that goes on in this country. You dont know jack about NYC. BORN and RAISED in NYC Best city in the world.

Wonderful....I may reconsider then. Just like the Bills game in Buffalo this year, there's no way I'm going if it involves dealing with fans who feel that their whole gameday experience is somewhat incomplete without a fight of some kind. To hell with that stuff, that's not what I pay the big money for tickets for.

[FADERPROOF]

It's never gotten to a physical fight or even someone getting in someone else's face from what I;ve seen, but its straight up verbal abuse to the fullest. I'm talking entire sections, 40 or people, at one time pointing at you and chanting "a-hole!", and "**** THE BRONCOS" among other things.

I enjoyed my times in that stadium so far, because I've always been pro-Browns when I went to the stadium, but I'm not sure how it will be as an oppsing fan. They're passionate to the fullest about their Browns, and some of them have beend rinking since 7 AM on gameday, just do the math for the verbal abuse that you'll endure.

I get it at work even when I wear Browns stuff, "You could've done that faster if you weren't a ****ing broncos fan," and on and on about the Broncos. This is Browns country, this is their territory, and they feel like defending this territory, and basically what I gathered is that only the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are considered more hated than the Denver Broncos, they still remember and will never forget those championship games.

[Tredici]

See, add the fights and the getting into your face to that and you have all my Buffalo experiences in a nutshell.....which is why I never go there. Some seem to live for all that though and that's fine, I guess....Personally, I perfer passion without obnoxiousness, but that's a tall order in some parts.

ahhh...I see now about Buffalo, and that would suck.

Browns fan have never gotten physical and never have tried, and I've been to 5 games since they came back into the league. From my experience, they jsut want to bash you verbally, they get creative, they can get under your skin depending on how good people take the dishing out, and seem to be pretty good losers(they're used to it.)

They talked **** to Patriot fans before the game, which is admirable considering the Browns only won 1 more game than the Patriots lsot at that time, but once the Patriots started kicking their ass the place was just silenced and Patriot fans walked out unharmed.

It will be a hostile, volitile situatation because of the hate that they have for us and the passion that they have, but I would be surprised to see anything more than verbal abuse(but it is some big time abuse).

[Hogan11]

Your first statement proves your last.

It's also why you're wrong and will never know it.

I haven't been to NYC since the late 80's....and I have no desire to return to it. No big problems there or anything like that, I just have no reason to go when Buffalo, Toronto, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are all much closer to me.

[FADERPROOF]

Last year for the Cincy game, before the game we had Bengal fans coming up to us and saying that they dont want Denver to embarrasss them, and we walked around chanting "Let's go Broncos!!" and no one said anything back.

That won't happen in Cleveland, like I said, they **** talked the Patriots fans, it doesn't matter how good or bad they are, be prepared for **** to be slung your way. Chanting pro Bronco things and talking back only fuels them, it's a passionate place.

[SoCalBronco]

Do u know when is the next time we play at Cleveland? Id like to go. Ill wear my Maurice Broncos jersey and my Hurricanes hat and ill get one of those big foam middle fingers saying "Cleveland is Gay".

True, they do try really hard, I just wish one day they would get it done. HAHA!

B-more or "Balmer" as we refer to it in DC, has a lot of character, seafood and beer.

But you can step out your front door onto the freeway. Do these people even have yards or sidewalks? http://scosoft.com/s/y/745b8ba0.gif

[Circle Orange]

I'll give you the same advice I give all tourists.

Get familiar with the Metro, it's easy and clean. Don't drive. You will probably be inside the beltway so you won't have to deal w/495 traffic.

*True this.*

Don't ride metro during Rush Hour, stay outta my way.

*It can be a meat rack sometimes*

Don't congregate at the turnstyles in the metro figuring out what you're to do. Stand aside.

*True. They might think 'terror' alert. Everything else is, here.*

Escalators on the metro...stand right, walk left. You'll see what I mean when you get here.

All monuments, except Mt. Vernon, are pretty much metro accessable so it's cool like that.

*Yup. Downtown district*

Do walking tours in the morning or night, museums during hot hours of the day. Museums have air conditioning.

*Yeah. Summers here have legendary heat and humidity. Cover yourself in wet towels and stick your head in the oven for the feeling.*

You don't need to ride the Green line. If you find yourself in Anacostia go toward the monument or find a cop. They'll escort you out of the hood.

*Red alert, loaded statement. Green Line goes to several stops (like around 20 freaking stations), Greenbelt, Branch avenue, suitland parkway...like all other lines. Ignore this comment...the Anacostia 'hood' full of houses selling for upwards of 600 grand...new baseball stadium coming...new waterfront coming...this ain't 1930. And we AIN'T turning back the clock, you dig? The 'hood' where everyone is desperately trying to buy the new properties being built there. The old 'hoods' in upper NW are nearly 100 years old. Not to mention the ones in NE. And we all know what 'hood' is codeword for.* :nono:

Use Gold Bond medicated powder on your nads and taint or you'll get a nasty case of swamp ass.

*Have no experience in this area. Don't plan to, either.*

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

Wow - I just got a neg rep/name-calling nastygram from AlecRaenos for including cities in Texas on my list.

Maybe he was just trying to confirm my perceptions of the place. :)

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

This goes to show that the only people that care about New York are New Yorkers. Those people act like that place is the center of the universe.

I like NYC, but I don't like the attitudes of those New Yorkers who move to L.A. and talk smack about how, as a city, NYC is superior to L.A. in every way.

Why the fock did you move out here, then?

[Jason in LA]

Yeah right, it only stands for everything that goes on in this country. You dont know jack about NYC. BORN and RAISED in NYC Best city in the world.


That attitude is what I was talking about a few pages back. Nobody outside of NYC really cares about the place.

The Vegas Rap Wars are escalating. I just caught a clip on the news, some local rapper (didn't get the name and I probably wouldn't know him anyway) got shot down in front of his studio this afternoon. The cops will investigate these gang crimes because they involve people who have money.

I spent a month in Coachella, California one weekend.

My high school played Coachella High in football. It's pretty much a border town that's not on the border. I remember after the game, the opposing players started throwing rocks at our bus and the cheerleaders were flashing gang signs. It's pretty much the barrio of the greater Palm Springs golf community. Plus, its only miles away from one of America's largest environmental waste lands, the Salton Sea.

Colorado Springs. Bigger in area then Denver. Still has that we is de small town thinking. I hate colorado springs. If someone accidentally hit the red button in russia, and colo springs ceased to exist, i would only be mad because i would have to find a new job. As for my job, the bums surnames exist because of what they do, and when they do it. for example, angry midget rumplestiltskin is a short white man from oklahoma who thinks he is mexicano. says so. teeth chromed out. crackhead annie is actually named dawn, but, dawn doesnt fit with crackhead, thus, crackhead annie. Gulf war is...well...gulf war. was never in the military. wears a camoflauge (sp) jacket. pregnant mike is a 40 y.o man who's gut looks like he is due to drop a kid any day. his spine actually curves to carry the girth in his gut. he also wears adult diapers. frank is actually the code name for both our jamaicans. both are on meds, but when they go off them, sparks fly. jimmy, aka, jimmy heroin, is the most illustrious bum in the history of bumness. he stole a diaper bag, because he could cook meth in a baby bottle.
Colorado Springs is hell. i know this, because i am the gatekeeper.

[baja]

No I post it because it is true. Irritating you is just one of those fringe benefits. You've probably got the same damp, creeping mold growing in your sinus cavities so you no longer smell it. Believe me, people from a fabulously correct dry climate are immediately aware of the dead poop bayou swamp smell. It's nearly a visable miasma hanging over the city.

The great thing about Los Angeles is the way every other city wants to compare themselves to them. New Yorkers are obsessed with some bizarre need to prove they're the center of the universe, so that's a given. The City, as they smugly self reference, or San Francisco to everyone else, is constantly sniping at LA, too. San Diego, with so much more to offer than LA, still feels strangely inferior, dwarfed to a sense of insignificance by their larger neighbor.

And Los Angeles?

They could care less what other cities think. Call them vapid and self absorbed, but they don't care about you or your rivalries and that's what really kills you.
