Dublin, Ireland. The stench of vehicle exhaust was constant, detectable even inside the buildings. Also, one of the people with us got robbed.

I've actually been to New Jersey too, but I was about 8 years old, so I may not have been aware of how bad it was. I know we spent most of our time in the suburbs though, so in my experience Dublin was still way worse.

interesting how negative experiences, not merely the city itself, impact our choices

New Jersey:
If Camden, NJ can still be considered a city....well it takes the cake. Camden is the armpit of the world.

Trenton def. has its hot spots!!

Texas:
I lived in Houston,TX (Spring Branch County) for 2 years. That was about 15 years ago. And even as a youngster, I can tell that Houston can be bad. But it is such a large city that could easily be broken up into smaller cities. Some areas are beautiful (gallarea area)(sp). BUt where I was at was, at the time, well below poverty.

Dayton.

But, I haven't much to too many places and most of them have been by choice so it was somewhere I wanted to see for a reason.

harharhar. oh wait, yeah we do have quite a few of those. but ours are clean (er) and the signs are in english (quite often) and we don't have all the illegals (except on bell road, constructions sites, home depot's, landscaping companies...). ok, scratch that last one.

The saying is true...You should just leave if you ever mistakenly find yourself there.

Close second, Warsaw. That was 1997. It might be better now.
