Shithole Cities

[LittleLebowski]

I would argue that if you take a 50 state tour, you'll find plenty of shithole cities spread throughout the U.S.

(I'd prefer that it weren't so...but I believe that to be the case.)

Wyoming?

Wyoming?

There are no cities in WY.

I'm not gonna trash WY. I'm a fan. Never lived there but have traveled the state extensively, as well as backpacked / climbed. If it weren't for the wind and the snow, I might be able to convince the wife to live there.

I've only seen him a couple of times and haven't paid attention.

I was making a joke. I don't listen to him often but enough to know the left calls him a white supremacist

You should. The young guys like him are successfully replacing the entire editorial board of NYT without any significant investments

I ate at a pub full of hipsters.

Having lived in Portland for 25 years, I'd argue that the high concentration of hipsters is the best indication that the city will become a shithole in a near future

Oh yeah. The bus system in Denver is a hard no-go.

I like some of the exurbs (parker, centennial, SE aurora, littleton, etc). Just not terribly affordable.

Also everyone seems to have an incredibly fake ass job that lets them go hiking in the middle of the day.

Went to a concert in downtown Denver a few weeks ago. Had an early dinner then thought we’d walk a couple blocks to the theater. Damn was that the wrong idea. Hadn’t seen than much sidewalk completely taken over by tents there before.

It was funny that all the groups a federal buildings that are clumped together downtown and have nice lawns had exactly zero tents or homeless in general. I suspect if someone comes along and tries to setup a tent in front of a federal court house a very nice federal office comes out and offers to stuff you in the jail inside the federal building quite quickly.

It is apparently possible to prevent this situation if there was the will to do so.

I'm not sure what you're saying...or what I'm supposed to take from this.

My memories of WY. Stopped at Rock Springs overnight on a cross country drive. Went to a local restaurant. Ordered apple pie. Asked the waitress if she could put a scoop of ice cream on it. She looked at us like we were crazy. Never heard of such a thing, she said: You know, last week, some fella wanted ketchup for his french fries!

OK - turned on the local news, the big story was IR camera footage of guys going into the local trailer part whore house. This was 1977. Maybe things changed.

Of course, in Sacramento once, the big TV news story was a female morgue attendant having sex with the corpses while the other attendants watched. The local Sheriff though the place should be napalmed. Not unreasonable. The best tourist attraction was the state capitol and then the hazelnut factory.

I thought Casper was kind of a turd, but then again my father was born there.
