[quote=Mahatma X;31600495]Philly and Baltimore have some REAL poverty that shouldn't even be allowed in the year 2013. Same with a lot of NYC and Jersey.
Shouldn't be allowed in a first world country like the USA.
You've clearly never been to much of Africa and South America, etc. Real poverty is alive and well in 2013.
I am likewise curious to hear why Rochester, NY gave off that vibe. Living here I obviously do not get the same impressions that outsiders might.
I spent most of my time in the downtown area. It was deserted, the buildings boarded over, but tons of people waiting for buses. Weird, and just not an "alive" feeling city.
I hope things have improved ... it was several years back.

Its East End section of Downtown and the Southeastern Quarter of the city has the bulk of the nightlife there. I believe that Downtown Rochester has been seeing an increase in Downtown housing/living too.
Akron and Canton Ohio, plus anywhere in West Virginia. They all seem like hick, backward, isolated places where Buffalo Bill (from Silence of the Lambs), or the rapists from Deliverance are likely to live.
Wow, the NFL chose to locate its Hall of Fame in a backwards town!? There are sometimes towns like that, though, that have one impressive attraction and the rest is not worth seeing. However, the NFL Hall of Fame is on my bucket list (as is Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). Just make sure Buffalo Bill takes a vacation day from his favorite hobby when I visit! LOL!
