quote:RED LAKE FALLS, Minn.—Jim Benoit wears his pride for his hometown across his chest—a pride that remained steadfast in the wake of an unflattering assessment of the city and surrounding county. Obviously they heard about this secondhand because I don't think the residents of Red Lake would read a "fancy city folks paper for feggits" Anyways the outrage was enough that the writer of the piece came to Red Lake and gave it some stellar reviews http://www.startribune.com/washington-post-detractor-gets-tour-of-ugliest-red-lake-county/323167281/ quote:“If this is such a bad place,” she said, “why do people stay here?” look at the view!

If you ever wonder why rural people complain about ivory tower over-educated liberals from big cities it's pretty much because of stuff like this. Mutual hostility.

Just checked it out on google maps, the town has a store called "Thrifty white drugs." Doesn't seem that bad though, I'm sure Detroit is a worse place to live.

Eh, I've been through the Red River Valley a bunch of times, it's no worse in terms of beauty than about a trillion other Midwestern rural counties. That's the problem with poo poo-stupid lists like this - some poor undeserving bastard's gonna end up dead last because the lazy fucks at the magazine are just plugging weather and topography info into a spreadsheet. None of them have ever been to 95% of the places they're judging. Meanwhile, pig-ugly places like Fresno, Palmdale and Barstow aren't even mentioned - probably because average winter temperature isn't as low.

Are dairy farms supposed to be ugly? Personally I can find beauty in a system like a well-run farm.

FYI: no farms, no food.

None of them have ever been to 95% of the places they're judging. I doubt they did that much. They probably had 50 places that were within a hundredth of a percentage point in difference and some loser says, "Oh that place? I got dumped by a girl who was from that place. pick that one." So they do. There's a county in the middle of Arizona with a long valley with a prison right in the middle of it, along I-80 (or 90? I forget). It looked like literal hell on Earth. No way that place in the middle of Minnesota is worst than that place, living-wise.
