3 Cities You Never Want To Visit
 
the Sochi news has sparked a debate at the office... what are 3 cities you never want to visit?




Mine were:


Detroit
Beirut
Dhaka


maybe not in that order.



in the interest of completeness, others in the office mentioned were Calcutta, Newark, Damascus, Mogadishu, Sochi, and Cairo.

in the US:
Detroit (been 2x, got robbed 1x)
St Louis (been 2x, got robbed 1x)
Baltimore (only driven through, hope to never actually stop there)

outside the US:
pick three cities in the middle east. i'm way too white to be safe over there.
also, Mexico City. my dad went a bunch on business and told me it was scarier than Vietnam because he didn't have his gun.

Chicago? Chicago is nowhere near as dangerous as the media portrays it. Chicago has about 3 really bad neighborhoods that are nowhere near any sort of tourist attraction. Chicago is a relatively safe city all the bad stuff just happens in certain locations that you would never go to.

St Louis.....sucks.
Gary, Indiana.....disgusting.
Detroit.....awful.

Doesn't get much worse than those 3.

Can't really think of any US cities I've been in that I would dread going back to, but I've heard nothing but bad stuff about Detroit. Not many cities in Mexico/outside of the US I would visit either.

Baltimore wasn't too great the more I think about it. Probably don't have much desire to go back there again.

In a lot of countries it's the US government that people don't like not so much the US people. Obviously that's dependent upon where you go. There is a huge disconnect between governments and the people they represent all over the world.

Disagree with Central America/South America. Central America maybe 10-15 years ago, yes.

I've been to all of Central America sans Honduras and Belize and Venezuela and Columbia and never once felt unsafe. In fact some of the nicest most gracious ppl I have EVER met where in towns in interior El Salvador. Its really unfortunate that some outdated news coverage can ruins a whole countries reputation. Panama City is one of the safest cities in the world now.

Belize is very safe, I have been a few times and never worried. Likely helps that they are technically an English protectorate. I loved Honduras as well, Isle De Roaton is absolutely beautiful if you want to venture to that small island.

I agree central America has come a long way but I still habitually look over my shoulder quite often. Something about 'police' officers walking around in shorts, camo shirts and flip flops while toting AK-47's worries me. :)

I know I am and I am okay with that. I have been to more foreign countries than most people ever will visit and ave never had a problem, quite the opposite actually. Before I go I actually try and take the time to learn the culture and some of the language so I can BS with locals and I think the recognize and appreciate that.

Ok, I mean I know St. Louis is lame as shit an all, but I highly doubt it is worth of 'Top 3 places you would never want to visit'

Grew up 90 minutes from STL and have probably spend hundreds of days there.... at least you can stay busy with good food and beer. Sure Cardinals fans are some of the dumbest on the planet, the Rams suck, and everything else about the city sucks.

But when you grow up in the middle of Illinois that's where you go to see your shows, and boy have I seen some amazing shows at the Pageant.

Hell the Pageant alone is enough to keep STL off this list.

It is funny, I have been to dozens of countries and the only issues I ever had that pissed me off was that guy and having a couple dozen automatic weapons pointed at me in Haiti - clearly in that case there was nothing I could do or say to announce my annoyance. :lol

I was just traveling the caribbean and wanted to see the place. I took a small boat from the Dominican Republic and was greeted by savage looking dudes armed to the teeth. I spend exactly 5 minutes in the country having my documents checked and then got on a different boat back to the DR and plopped my butt at the bar and had some drinks after that hellhole.

I really don't want to visit Denver. I'd much rather live there.

Wrigley and Fenway are about the only real stadiums left that have any history. The rest are corporate monstrosities.

As for pizza, real pizza is thin crust, slightly burned without too much sauce or grease.

Someone from Kentucky has no business giving pizza advice to those of us from the tri-state area - or even chicago. ;)

Chicago is an amazing place to visit, especially in the Summer. The places that are dangerous are so far away from the heart of the city that you would need to seek them out, unlike a place like NOLA where you could literally walk into the ghetto from Bourbon and get stabbed.
