What is your favourite and least favourite city in the world?
My favourite would be New York and my least favourite, Reading. For those of you who haven't heard of Reading (pronounced RED-ing), it is a monsterous carbunkle on the Thames. It smells like a mixture of pure tedium and dogsh*t. It is full of braindead curmudgeons. The only question is whether it turns people into braindead curmudgeons or whether it just attracts those who already are.

Favorite... A tie between Paris and New Orleans. Paris used to be in the lead, but Cajun and Creole cooking... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Least favorite... Don't have one, really. I could pick Allentown, PA, where they rolled up the city at 5PM... literally. Or Red Oak, Iowa, where there were two stoplights and four national chain restaurants (assuming you consider Dairy Queen to be a national chain restaurant). Or perhaps Napoleon, MI, where I got a ticket from a cop parked next to the doughnut shop (no kidding!).

For the ones I've been to, Vancouver is my favourite. Grande Prairie is my least favorite, but Edmonton is near the bottom too.

Favorite is definately my home city, San Diego. I haven't really been to a bad city...I guess most parts of LA. Some of them are so ghetto it takes guts to get out of the car [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Christchurch is my fave that I seen, don't really have a least favorite city as such... lots of backwater towns that I wouldn't want to live in but I dunno...

Favorite city is prolly Chicago, which is the best livable city I've seen amongst the big cities of the world. Of course, I currently live in a down-town highrise and will soon move to a down-town townhouse, so I admit being jaded. San Fran is also a great big city to live in, if you can tolerate the traffic, as it is a short way from being in some nice scenic mountain/forest/ocean/beach terrain, and the great weather. Don't get me wrong, from April to September Chicago sports some great weather.
Least favorite decent-sized city is prolly Syracuse, NY. Dirty, declining, run-down, the typical former rust-belt and industrial-belt problems. I don't go into the numerous small towns you folks likely would not recognize, but the QOL in such towns varies greatly. |
