Must-visit awful U.S. cities

Four pages and no mention yet of Battle Mountain, Nev? Mostly because the city's initials are carved into a bluff overlooking the city and visible from I-80?

 

Dodge City

 

Surrounded by thousands of acres of cow manure.
AKA "the smell of money."

 

Leavenworth. If you are visiting, it's likely because you must. As in, you have no choice.

 

Hopefully, I'll get to spend a year there, beginning next summer.

 

That's cool. My sister did a year's sentence there as sports editor.

 

AT Leavenworth or IN Leavenworth?

 

Or the "good places to get your ass kicked" thread.

 

Does Branson count as awful? It is the only place I am interested in visiting because I think I would find it so terrible based just on a Simpsons episode I saw 20 years ago.

 

In my Midwest hometown, if two girls were hollering at each other and suddenly one of them took off her earrings, it was ON.

 

Yes. Take my word for it.

 

Eh, Branson is not so bad. Mostly old folks and Silver Dollar City is pretty cool.
