Opa Locka, though, that place is such a fucking shithole. I can't even picture a more ghetto, fucked up place.

Went to a locals only bar in the shady part of town when I was in the Philippines last. Place was packed to the brim with locals leering at a girl im 99% certain was underage who was completely naked doing her best to cover herself modestly and was clearly not enjoying herself. No banter going on in the bar, no conversation, very quiet, all just staring intently at this girl. Took a seat in the corner wondering what the fuck i was doing there, copping the stink eye from everyone around. Got a message about 10 minutes later from a bud i went there with that there was gonna be trouble if we stuck around, so promptly finished my drink and high tailed it outta there. Foreigner got stabbed nearby only a week earlier so wasnt too keen to find out what 'trouble' meant.

Rock Springs, Wyoming. Some of you have probably seen me mention it several times over the years. Spent 2 years and change there on a work transfer.

It's extremely cold -- cold as in it routinely goes below zero during winter, and during my time there I experienced around two week's worth of days that saw the temp go south of 30 degrees below zero. The worst I saw was 42 below. And we're not talking wind chill here. We're talking actual Fahrenheit temperature. White out blizzard conditions were common. And the winds were some of the sharpest, most violently blowing winds I've ever encountered. Imagine pumping your gas while it's 38 below and the wind is blowing at you at 60 MPH. Dude I felt like I was going to literally freeze to death at the damn gas pump on a few occasions...you know, just lie down like this dude here and call it a life. At least I'd be warm in my coffin.



But even as cold as it was, it was weird, because the landscape is desert. It's basically a fucking desert with ice box conditions. So yeah, imagine those aesthetics. And the town is most comprised of virtually nothing but trailer homes and really cheaply made apartments. The entire town was a display of white trash living at its finest. There was as many adult video stores as there were regular video stores.

Most of the people are only there for the oil/gas/coal mining jobs, so everybody's a roughneck. Even the damn chicks. Man their chicks would kick a motherfucker's ass too, for real. Like I'm talking big, brute, trucker chicks. Chicks that will drink your fucking ass under the table and then cuss your ass out after for being a bitch. Seemed like everybody in the town stayed drunk 24/7/365. Fights were constant. Only place I've ever been where liquor stores stayed open 24 hours. Hell they had drive-thru liquor stores for fuck's sake. The best place to eat in town was a motherfucking Applebee's. Like this fucking Applebee's is where dude's brought their prom dates and anniversary dinners. To them that damn Applebee's was Ruth's Chris, some real five star luxury shit. The town was basically 98% poorly educated back country white folk too, so do the math on whether or not you'd think this little blip on the map would fit the bill as a racist town or not.

And there was really nothing in any direction for hours. Like the closest shit that actually resembled a real city/town was Salt Lake City, and SLC was like 3 hours and change away.

TL;DR: Rock Springs, WY is close to being hell (a cold hell mind you) on earth and a place where people go do die.

Oh, and basically any hardcore inner-city ghetto from any major city would apply here in this thread. Shit in inner-city Detroit, just beyond downtown the cops will straight up tell you to run the red lights when it gets late. I mean yeah look both ways and shit, but take off as soon as it's safe.

And here in Dallas the roughest area of the city is probably the Fair Park area, and it's fucking third world over there.

It was ridiculous, Logic. I had to drive back into the remote hills like 75 miles outside of town, at like 5 AM, and the landscape would be completely white and the temp read in front of me by the gauges would be like minus 30 whatever...I swear if I didn't know any better I'd think I was in the north pole or some shit

Baltimore City Ghettos...used to by coke at a place where I can't believe I'm still alive. Also, New Orleans ghetto,Philadelphia ghetto, Atlanta....the list keeps going. When I was jonesing on coke and ventured into some very sketchy places. One place in New Orleans...dude put a loaded revolver on the table in front of me as he was measuring my 8 ball. I was the only white guy in the room and I had no idea where I was. They could have robbed me and killed me but because I was an out of town business dude ...I guess, they wouldn't want the cops coming down on them ...I was just really lucky on more than one occasion....This was in the 80's and 90's.

Never been anywhere really bad, just shitty/boring blue collar towns in butt-fuck nowhere, not dangerous or anything. As far as cities, Athens is pretty grimy, the only good thing about it is the museum and acropolis. Crete was super poor too but didn't bother me, it was poor in a kind of quaint way, except the shit roads...

But  as far as cities go . Detroit in the 90's early 2000's was no joke.  So much fuckery.  Only place ive every had a naked crack head try to car jack me  with his nudity.....

Used to goto bars when I was  13 there.  You pay the cover and you can see over the bar you were good. Used to goto this goth club/ industrial  place that was on top of a really seedy hotel. One time I was there with a buddy he was getting drinks from these old dudes. I told him it wasn't a good idea. I was there to dance and grab ass so I left him to his own devices........

Found him passed out around 3 am. fairly large club.  He was out cold like slap him and nothing. I think i was 17 then carried him back to my honda  had a city of Detroit police car roll up on us. Looked at us laughed and drove toward the casino.

Topika KS is a silly place too....




Pretty sure iv been to the goth place you are talking about. It was in this hotel that looked like it was abandoned. They were playing techno when i went though. I forgot what the place was called, this was like 4 years ago.

Never been but I remember hearing years ago, I think it was on 20/20 or some shit, that Cite Soleil (Haiti) was considered the most dangerous, and most impoverished place on earth. At least at the time anyway.










Basically law & order doesn't exist there, or didn't at that time as far as I knew. There was no such thing as police in Cite Soleil. Rape, murder, and violent assault was beyond rampant. Life is worth very little to people in a place like that.

Y'all should check this out sometime if you get a chance -- it's a brutally revealing documentary on the gang takeover there. Like I said life ain't worth shit in a place like that...walk through there with an old model shitty smartphone and that would be way more than enough for one of those dudes to run up on you and put a cap in your head and leave you lying there in the street, meanwhile dude is running off with your Galaxy S1 thinking he just won the powerball lottery

Opa Locka, FL maybe. Maybe philly around temple university. Or maybe Detroit, but I like it there.



hah thats the philly college i was talkin about too






I knew immediately you were talking about temple from the way you described it.


That area of philly sucks, the medical campus which is like half a mile north of the main one is even worse sorry you guys had to hang out there.
The area around Penn and Drexel's campus(or any of the colleges in center city obviously) is so much nicer and there's way more to do in the immediate area.



As for me...probably Honduras - though the islands off the coast of it are nice the mainland can be a mess.

ain't no party like a third world party.

also southwest philly at a tow yard, and camden, nj...which is basically the third world.

the indian reserve not far from where I live... was doing some insulation in some new houses being built there.. now, I got no racism in me, but holy shit what a fucking dump... and here i am wearing a blue bandanna around my forehead because that's the only place the insulation makes me burn, all of a sudden the contractor comes in in a bit of a panic saying "dude, you need to take that off right now or your gonna get fucking shot, no joke"... apparently if I was wearing a red one it woulda been peachy keen... they thought I was a rival gang member :tongue:

the scariest hustle puppies. It was in a horrendous section of philly, and the people running it are really NOT good people and just made me super uncomfortable, there's a whole yelp page dedicated to their terribleness(https://www.yelp.com/biz/george-smith-towing-philadelphia). Temple is ugly, and you've got to worry about armed robbery - but they've also got their own police force and shuttles and stuff like that, and they light up the area like daylight - but the school brings something to the area and is the reason why there's a supermarket and a movie theatre and everything like that there...off campus north philly gets much much scarier, southwest philly is the same.

But the funny thing about Philly is that in the heart of the southwest ghetto you have places like Bartrams Garden - the oldest botanical garden in north america.





sort of an odd surreal place. it's the kinda city where you really have to know where to go, it's a blast and it's a very interesting place when you start exploring it....but it also reeks of hot garbage in the summer time and has a lot of grit.

It was called city club and the hotel wasnt abandoned but if you went to an after party there then  all hope for humanity would be  gone..... :qblock:


Wonder how many people got AIDS there  used to do the hooks in the back thing. Ah when no fucks where ever given place is closed and tore down. One of the nurses in the nut house used to goto the same places asked what was still around :smuglook:

Buying drugs in random parts of Detroit were some of the most dangerous places I've been. One time there was even shots fired. Then once I got lost down there and was running out of gas quick. I looked down the block from this gas station and all the street lights were shot out and none of the houses had their electricity turned on. There were about 40 or 50 gang bangers in the street and I really had no choice but to stop and get gas.

Lousisana, Alabama, and Texas also deserve a mention. I don't know why anyone would live there
