Bradford's in the middle, isn't it?

We call it the North, but if you look at a picture of Britain it's pretty much in the middle (the top is Scotland you see)

I am very fond of Bradford, as is Dana (it's on her doorstep) - here's her pictures.

I agree it's all down to personal perception. Any place can seem grim in the wrong circumstances. That said, I don't think I even have a worst city. I dislike some of the suburbs of London, but that's about it.

I'm beginning to get sick of Newcastle. I've not been outside the city in 2.5+ months. I'm used to quite a bit more mobility than this.

Luckily, the girlfriend and I are taking a trip at Christmas. We're going to Prague (hostel), then have Christmas in Vienna (double bed in a hotel), and New Years in Brussels (queen bed in a hotel!). Hopefully that will cure what ails me.

Tucson. if new jersey is the armpit of america then Tucson is the taint. there is like one square block that is pretty'd up so they can advertise what a nice place it is. the rest of it is overrun by litter, dingy, dirty, gross. in half the city they don't even bother putting the signs in English at all. it is so messed up that i think the mayor is even here illegally. well maybe not... but i wouldn't be surprised.

I lived in Tuscon as a kid, and had very fond memories of it. I went back almost 10 years ago and was really disappointed. There were a few nice places to visit, but mostly it was a rundown place. Roll up the windows and lock the doors.

My friends live in Stanley Village, not the same as Stanley, but close by.

Paterson, NJ
Newark, NJ
Lynn, MA
Passaic, NJ
Camden, NJ
Union, NJ

But Lynn, MA is the only one with a warning poem:

"Lynn, Lynn, city of sin. You never come out the way you came in."
And it's true. Went there once and got mugged.

yeah but some of them are absolutely ace,
I lived in a suburby part of High Barnet for 17 years... I always felt it was quiet enough to feel peaceful but connected enough to feel... well, connected. Although in saying that I was recently informed High Barnet has a higher crime rate than Hackney. (doesnt suprise me... Hackney is on the rise)

Its not a city but I have a bone to pick with Enfield in London,
what a dive. What a total dive.
