Don't disagree. Arcola is almost too small to consider a town. Good people in Greenville but it is terrible overall.

I'm going to throw in Shiprock, N.M.
Absolute crap town, the only thing that keeps it from being one of the worst, is the surrounding view. Calexico, CA. was pretty damn bad too.

Not sure what part of Birmingham I had a driver. I flew in and was just working with a crew there for that day. All houses in that neighborhood had bars on the windows and every other house was burned out. We kept the vehicles close to where we were working so nothing got smashed and grabbed.

2nd worse place was in a neighborhood just outside of Fort Bragg.

Montgomery Al
Lived there two years due to work and my car was stolen and house broken into.

I like Tuskegee. some of those shops downtown have some very nice interesting people. Selma is bad but it's half decent. has some nice antebellum homes.

Glad someone does. The Institute is nice and well kept, the rest of the town is crap. Most of the old, and once attractive home are boarded up or in need of repair. Even WBIL is overgrown in weeds.

But most of those still exist as towns. I remember a town in southeast Kansas that was a one story brick building (the oldest sign on it said Bank, painted over that was General Store and then something else, next to it was a pile of weathered lumber, and that's all that was left of that town at what had been a major intersection.
