Where is a place you went to that you will never ever go back to?

A waffle house in Florida lol.

Tiny little Mayberry-esque village in my state that is perpetually trapped in the 1950’s. The po-po there doesn’t like me very much…

Sorry everyone from UK but its England for me, it just rained and rained for a month solid and I just couldn’t take it no more, glad to leave never to return.

@creative1 What did you expect?

@erichw1504 not down pouring every single day for a solid month, thought maybe foggy and drizzily but everytime I was out sightseeing I was down poured on.

Hell. It was way too hot and my land lord made me do too much work around the place.

Tijuana

@erichw1504 Not to mention Hitler’s loud parties.

@Blackberry Yes, unfortunately he was my neighbor…

If I had my druthers, it would be Las Vegas. I may be forced to go back at some point, though, because several members of my husband’s family live there. I loathe the place.

@crisw People always talk about how awesome Vegas is, why don’t you like it?

The route my dog and I took when we visited the summit of Elk Mountain. From now on we go the way everyone else (mostly) does.

The South. It was weird, man.

Gallup, NM. Nat King Cole talked it up, but man that place was a shit hole.

Denmark, specifically Copenhagen. Now i’m not saying anything negative about the place, but to a 12yr old boy it was like coma city. “Hello factory, well hi there boat, oh look, another bicycle!” Never again, although I have to say, my adolescent self was impressed by this babe. ;¬}

East St. Louis. I wouldn’t drive through their in a tank.

@erichw1504 I was wondering how long it would take for this one to come up. I made a sales call there 12 years ago and ESL made Watts look like Beverly Hills.

@sliceswiththings, you mean you wouldn’t even come back down here to visit me? :-(

I found Mendocino pretty pretentious.

East St Louis always makes me think of that scene from National Lampoon’s Vacation. ;)

@jonsblond Haha, that’s so true!

@jonsblond Hahahhahaha they write “honky lips” on the car, i rofl everytime

Gary, Indiana. Even the sidewalks were a rusty, industrial gray-orange horror.

@Cruiser: For more gritty fun, try East New York! Then again, maybe you shouldn’t.

My hometown.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard If I close my eyes and cover my ears I will :)

@Blackberry

“People always talk about how awesome Vegas is, why don’t you like it?”

I hate smoking and heat, I am not fond of crowds or terribly impressed by facades, and I don’t gamble. Plus I don’t get along all that well with my mother-in-law :>)

So there is simply nothing there for me.

@aprilsimnel There is a city called Aurora 10 miles from me that on it’s East Side, their cops won’t even patrol at night.

@crisw I’m not even going to go to Vegas once. I agree that there isn’t something there for everyone. I prefer going to bed early and drinking chocolate milk and listening to Mozart will all of my clothes on :)

@crisw I agree partly, I wouldn’t spend the money to go their either, but I was just wondering.

For all the Vegas haters, there is more to Vegas than slot machines and crowds. There are some beautiful natural areas located all over the surrounding area. But, who am I to talk. I hate New York city and hope I never have to go there again. Ready for the hate now. :)

@jonsblond I wasn’t surprised when I started going to NYC, either, but it does have stuff there that isn’t anywhere else close to me. Like jazz clubs.

@jonsblond

But (presuming you mean places like Red Rock and Lake Mead) they aren’t in Las Vegas itself, you have to drive to them. I don’t think I’d like NYC much either; I am not fond of most big cities.

@crisw You forgot Mt. Charleston, but you are correct, they aren’t in the city limits. Even though I was raised there I would never move back. I don’t like big cities either. we have something in common, go figure! teehee

@Blackberry That’s too bad you don’t have any jazz clubs near you. Peoria, Il has (or had) a few. There was one Jon and I used to frequent until it was closed down due to some gang activity. That was many years ago though.

I grew up in Denver, Colorado, in the 50’s and the one time I went back to visit my Mom, in 1984, I was very disappointed. I cried when the plane was landing and the smog was so bad, we couldn’t even see the beautiful mountains.

It’s mostly the past that I won’t ever go back to. I had some of my worst days back when and I have no desire to revisit that.

Florida! I hate the place. It’s too hot, too sunny, and people there are jerks! The only good part was the beautiful thunderstorms.

Ruby Tuesday

@YARNLADY that is so bizarre. it seems so clear all the time out here….i’ve never seen smog in Denver. that’s gross and a bummer!

Waffle House in Phoenix, AZ.

Having lived in California most of my life and hearing about the delights of Waffle House, I just had to put it on the list of things to do when I went to AZ. Gah, nasty. I can get a drive thru breakfast better than anything on their menu. It wasn’t the trailerpark kitsch of the place either, it was the yucky food.

Hollywood.

You expect glamour and movie stars. You get pawn shops, dives, and hookers.

Drugs.

I went to San Diego, which was lovely and then took a trip out to see the Joshua Tree National Park which was lovely too. But we thought that the big lake on the way would be worth the detour. It was Salton Sea and was bloody awful. I’ve never been in such a terrible place.

@Stinley The Salton Sea was a mistake in the first place, formed by a flood, and then was allowed to fall into a state of ruin. What you saw was more like the ghost of the Salton Sea.

@YARNLADY The whole place felt toxic but the poverty of the people was the worst
