From armpits of the state to middle fingers of the country—some of the cities in the US are known for being the least attractive urban settlements. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so not everyone finds NYC or New Orleans pleasing, and perhaps some negative experiences would have influenced one’s preferences. But there are definitely a few cities that stand no chance at not being called ugly and we are hoping that you are not living there.
A curious user u/teddyjr32378 on the popular Reddit community r/AskReddit decided to find out ‘What is the ugliest city you have ever visited?’ and below are what the users came up with with, so you can let us know if you agree.

Gary, Indiana. The entire city was gray. No color. I thought I had gone color blind until I got to Chicago.

#4
Modesto, CA. It should be a crime to make a city as ugly as Modesto in a state with so much beauty.

#5
Birmingham, Alabama. Half the city is just bland brown brick buildings from the 80’s, and the other half is basically abandoned ruins of bland brown brick buildings from the 80’s

Independence, MO. — meth capital of the United States. Even the buildings look like they smoke rocks.

‘City’ would be generous, but take it upon yourself to never stop in Stark or Waldo, FL.

Laurel, MS. The try to doll it up on the HGTV show, but it’s a cesspool. Upgraded to the most violent city in Mississippi last year, if I’m not mistaken.

#17
Spokane,WA. It feels like it got left behind in the late 80s when Seattle became a major destination with no vibrancy or anything attractive about the city in general. Just bunches of residential neighborhoods with a few upscale eateries to keep it just out of last place.
