Hector Beerlioz posted:So far gooncensus is Harrisburg, PA. I am inclined to agree. Ok amigo, I'm not saying Harrisburg is some kind of culture mecca but I've driven through it on plenty of highways and down neighborhood roads and it's not that bad. It's got a river, lots of cool brick homes, and walkable neighborhoods. Not even close to the worst capital city. Salem, Oregon, on the other hand is a place where people drag their obese children past methheads with huge eyes and 90-year old faces rocking themselves on the shared porch. I rode my bike through a gravel parking lot in a subsidized apt complex and I was legit worried that a syringe was going to pop my tire. I went into a lovely strip-mall dry cleaning dropoff and the attendant yelled at me that I couldn't be there. The floor in the dairy queen was dirty. Walking into Wal-Mart was a breath of fresh air because they cared enough to replace the burned out bulbs and clean the floor. In addition, it has lovely weather and the air smells funny.

Albany just because I live nearby. Like 10 colleges in the area and there is nothing to do. I don't even know how that's possible. + all the bad elements being priced out of NYC by hipsters come here and shoot the place up.

Hector Beerlioz posted:What's the shittiest city in relation to the whole state? South Carolina #1, Columbia. Weather, it's a wasteland of gently caress you heat, routinely getting over 105 during the summers with the bonus of gently caress you humidity. Geographically it's a total fuckmess, stuck in the middle of flat south carolina piedmont. It has nothing interesting historically or culturally, and misses coastal features like Charleston. It also doesn't have strong employment/business/tech interests like Greenville/Spartanburg and has nothing to compare to the Blue Ridge escarpment country of the upstate. It's surrounded on most sides by the poorest shittiest parts of SC for 75 miles in every direction. Woodrow Wilson's boyhood home is there but gently caress that guy anyway, league of nations sux If you want sports gently caress you too. Pro sports don't exist here, and the USC teams are mostly terrible. Supported by frat boy hat sales everywhere though so w/e.

On the other other hand in addition to the incinerator debacle the longtime former mayor is going to trial for allegedly embezzling funds to buy wild west artifacts.

the great deceiver posted:sacramento is actually a cool city and if you really think it is the worst state capital you are literally retarded Yeah Sacramento is pretty nice and is growing as people get priced/tired of entitled bay culture. Even in the past 10 years, it now has a pretty vibrant downtown with ton of restaurants, decent music/arts (if you're into that), breweries, and bars (and their drinks don't cost like $10 for a beer like SF). yeah it's not LA/SF in terms of touristy things and poo poo, but in terms of general day to day livability it's pretty awesome. And you don't have to pay like 3k for a 1 br--I think they're about $800-1k. Nice thing is there are actually a lot of jobs in Sacramento to actually support a pretty diverse and growing place--but they aren't ridiculous VC/Silicon Valley type bullshit so most people are pretty modest and chill. Or live in Davis which is a loving ton of fun and close to Sac too.

One criteria of worst should be "city that no one knows even exists" on the account of its myopic scope and unspeakable shittyness. Friends, I submit for your approval, Carson City, Nevada. Surrounded by horrible meth in every direction, impressive racism, poo poo casinos of the gaudiest variety and on the outskirts of town? Whore houses. Now wait...I know you are thinking, "that's cool". But they are surrounded by all three sides by landfills, junkyards and dead animal pits. Nestled in the warm embrace of useless scorched sand and open pit mines. Top that, Harrisburg.

A goon cited GWAR as a good thing Richmond, VA did for the world. As a Virginian who has lived from Hampton Roads to Louisa County and traveled much further, I agree that this is a good Richmond thing. It is also the only good Richmond thing. gently caress Richmond.
