Cities with a weird/eerie vibe?

Helena, Arkansas. You can tell it was once a thriving river and railroad town, but now much abandonment and little activity on most of the streets..

I believe you mean Helena-West Helena, correct?

For anyone roadtripping through America, Rock Springs Wyoming is worth a stop.

If you like high desert it's pretty, and has a unique history. Neither good or bad. But unique.

I live in Austin, and this city is no longer a weird city unlike a lot of other folks still claim it to be. It has become more of a city catered specifically towards college students and yuppies trying to get into the tech/IT industry for money and job prospects. I'm not even a born-and-raised native Austinite myself, but "Keep Austin Weird" is starting to sound more like an outdated slogan to me. Sometimes I ponder and ask to myself: what's exactly so weird about this city nowadays? It's almost indistinguishable from cities like Nashville, which is another overrated city (I used to like that city).

I'd say Houston got an eerie/weird vibe regardless of however you take it. It's got an unique art car scene where people take their weird-looking cars to an annual parade, there's a burial vault underneath a bridge downtown, no existing zoning law, therefore you see a hodgepodge of buildings all serving completely different purposes on one street, and there is a gritty feel throughout the metro. I'm not surprised Robocop 2 was filmed there.

Rumford and Farmington Maine. Everything just feels strange and off for those two small cities along highway 2. The mountains cause extreme shadowing for large portions of the year, impacting both places extensively.

Yeah, I guess the two cities merged sometime in the past decade or two. I was referring to the part that's on the Mississippi River--historically the city of Helena.
