Virginia Beach, VA
The vanity plate capitol of the East Coast, terrible sprawl, terrible traffic, and barely a decent restaurant in sight. Add to that the fact that it takes forEVER to get there from anywhere and once you're there you wonder why.

Recently came back from there. We were staying on the ocean, though, so everything was nice and close. I will agree on the restaurants, however.
I offer up my usual trifecta: Western Wyoming, eastern Colorado and western Kansas (especially along I-70). Highway hypnosis, anyone?

I want to live in Parker
Nothing to do Nowhere to go
I want to live in Parker
Only one gas station
Only one restaurant
Rest of the song to come whenever I feel like it.
Parker is a far southeastern suburb of Denver that's known for having all cookie cutter housing developments, nothing of any substance to do in the town, and being too far from anything.

That part sounds like Baker, FL. Or maybe Laurel Hill, FL. Not sure which.

Bedfordshire. A pretty dire county, as any that has Luton as it's centre of attention would be. Brogborough is quite possibly the least attractive village in Britain. I'll try to find some pictures later if possible.
Other places that are to be avoided are: Aberdeen in Hong Kong, Cumbria in the winter and at the peak of the tourist season and Borham Wood.

Kingston, Jamaica
Having travelled all over Jamaica, Kingston was the only place I got all puckered up. The rest of the island was great and the people friendly, but in Kingston I could definately feel a different vibe.
shame, cause it's a beautiful side of the island.
