People Share 45 Places In The US They Would Never Want To Visit Again

Visited a reservation in Arizona... THAT was eye-opening. Literal single room concrete block houses with no water or electricity, dirt floors... Native Americans got so unbelievably betrayed by society.

Maricopa County Jail. Horrible place. The food and the staff were terrible. I did not enjoy my stay and no plans on going back.
The accommodations were subpar at best and did not match the brochure.
Total bait and switch! Communal showers, the other guests were loud which made good night's rest impossible!

The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

The level of poverty and hopelessness there rivals anywhere I’ve seen personally.

Ocala, FL. Extremely backwards, backwoods, racist, middle-of-nowhere haven for klansmen and the “bad” rednecks. I am a dark-skinned person and get racist comments anytime I go somewhere in town.

Last time I went it was FJB/ MAGA/Trump signs everywhere, lifted trucks, roadside peanut stands and a collective IQ of about 39.

Lived in FL my entire life and I’ve never seen such an awful place.

The Mississippi delta region. Poverty like most Americans would not believe exists in this country.

Las Vegas. Everyone there is desperate. A shrine to greed. I hated almost every minute of my visit.

When I was driving through Gary Indiana there were signs that said not to stop at stop signs after dark lol.

The Everglades.

Just alligators and poor people who wear poverty, Jesus, and backwardness like they won the Medal of Honor.

Cairo, IL. Honestly made me uncomfortable just driving through. My dad, myself, and my brother were traveling west and passed through. It was odd to count the few lights that were on in the city. The only place we saw a few people were standing outside a liquor store. Otherwise we did not see a single resident. Felt apocalyptic being so vacant.

The most racist town in Arkansas. Growing up there, it was so normalized and. I still don’t get why. It’s a dirty town with no teeth.

Centralia, PA. It has been ***on fire*** since 1962, and there are something like six residents who still live there. It is soul crushing.

Hollywood Boulevard. It was like a scene from a zombie movie with the amount of people staggering around off their faces or passed out across pavements. The stench of urine & stains from it covering a lot of the older stars was sickening.

The entire state of Oklahoma. Altus, Lawton, and Sepulpa are modern day sundown towns.

The entire state’s aesthetic looks like what you’d see in a baby’s diaper after feeding them a nonstop diet of pumpkin, beans, and chicken nuggets.

Paducah, Kentucky.  


Visited a friend from the area, and we went to Paducah to have a few beers.  


Some big hoss with a few missing teeth came up to us.  You know the type.  Big, strong, no definition, just beef.  Tall and heavy, and considers himself a great fighter because he can knock out regular guys in a few punches just by using his body momentum.  


Dude came up between me and my buddy and clapped a hand on each of our shoulders, really friendly.  Shouting about some [N-word] (his word, not mine) out in the parking lot.  "HE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA COME IN HERE, BUT I TOLD HIM TO GET TF OUT!!" 


Dude was smiling, jovial, genuinely friendly.  He just assumed because I have blue eyes that I dislike black people drinking in the same room as me, just like him.  


We didnt correct the guy.  Looking around, it was pretty obvious we'd get stomped by the whole crowd if we tried.  Luckily he didnt beat the guy up.  But I wasnt about to lose any teeth defending the honor of a guy who was already on the road on his way to friendlier pastures.  I figured I'd just enjoy the rest of my beer and never come back to Paducah.

West Memphis.

giggidygiggidyg00:

So glad I'm not the only one. Got lost there at like 2am and was about to run out of gas. Scariest gas station experience of my life. When I walked in the clerk looked at me like even he was scared for my life lol

Bucksnort, TN. I was running out of gas and pulled into a gas station off I-40 that looked almost bare inside and asked if I could get gas. The lady stared at me. I pulled out my credit card and said “do you take these?” She replied “you can take that card and get the hell out of here.” I did exactly that.

Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. It's like an open-air mental asylum, and crime hotspot with scarce public toilets and facilities. It's a harrowing place to visit or drive through.

Bakersfield CA. The second least educated city in the nation (Visalia made #1), the worst air quality in the nation (depending on the year), Kern county, the county Bakersfield is in, has one of the highest police involved shootings per population, it's in the top 10 for STDs, teen pregnancy. I spent years there.

I’m going to go a different direction from the usual “Gary Indiana, East St Louis, Camden” answers.

Garden City, KS. It is on the other side of the continental dry line (I’m sure it has a name) but without some of the appeal of other western locales. It is brown, drab, it smells like cow manure because of the feed lots in the area, and it’s 200+ miles to any sizable metro areas.

Edit: I’ll never forget flying in there (work trip). We came down out of the clouds and not long after I started thinking “Man, somebody could’ve waited 5 minutes until we landed to poop their self.” Then we landed and popped the door open and I quickly realized “oh, that wasn’t coming from inside the plane.”.

East Saint Louis. That was years ago so couldn't say what it's like these days, but when I was there it looked post-apocalyptic.
