    We have the worst mall in the country

    I'm sure there's more, but there are the ones that were off the top of my head.
    Haha. Are you talking about the Columbia Mall? That mall sucks. It's all old people. When I go over my cousins house in Danville, we have to go to a really far one. There is one in Selinsgrove but it's not that good.

      - Cost of living, way too expensive. Forget about car insurance.
      - Traffic. It takes me some times an hour and a half, for what is a 5-10 mile trip.
      - Crime, not much in my city but the surrounding cities.
      - Giants fans.

        The only thing I don't like about my area is the public transportation. It sucks. I guess it's improving but, going to school in Chicago...I was spoiled.

          -- home invasions

          -- way over-inflated housing prices

          -- bad & stupid drivers

          -- live on an "island"!!!

          -- east end traffic in the summer (traffic in general stinks)

              All I can do is walk around the mall and look at 15 year old fat ugly chicks. I love it.

                  Re: The WORST things about where you live...

                  Metro Detroit, MI (in no particular order)

                  1. The Economy -- Worst in the country right now. Unemployment is the highest. Foreclosures left and right. With the US Automakers in the crapper, Detroit needs to start finding a new source of industry or we're screwed. GOOGLE opening in Ann Arbor could be a nice first step, but a lot more needs to happen.

                  2. Potholes - That's one of the bitches about having all four seasons... 100 in the summer to 20 below in the winter will kill the roads.

                  3. That smell coming up from Ohio. Turns my stomach just thinking about it.

                  4. Property taxes are high - Especially if you're too close to water. In my town, I even get double-dipped because I live in the Village of Milford which is inside the Township of Milford... so I pay Village and Township taxes. Grrrrr.

                  5. Humidity

                  6. No public transportation - Besides a ****ty SMART bus system and the people mover downtown... there is no way to get anywhere without a car. Something that was very intentional for the Motor City... but I'm very jealous of cities like Chicago that have great public transportation system extending all the way out to the burbs.

                  7. Detroit Metro Airport - Worst, worst airport. If you've ever had a layover here (especially the old Smith Terminal - the new Northwest Terminal is OK) you know what I mean.

                    Psh, you live in MICHIGAN, there's only TWO seasons: Winter and construction.

                    And yes...the SMART bus is a disgrace.

                          1.) Meth...the root of all evil in Vegas. I hate "tweakers" with a passion.

                          2.) Girls...are there any normal ones out here?

                          3.) 102 degrees...at 4 a.m.

                          4.) No culture, no professional sports teams, no history.

                          5.) No thunderstorms

                          6.) No rolling hills/big trees...just brown...everywhere.

                            1,3, and 6 can be added to my Phoenix list also. The meth problem here and I'm sure many places has gone out of control.

                                Mentor, OH (in no particular order)

                                1. Humidity, hate it!

                                2. Foreclosures of houses everywhere. Just a horrible home market right now, glad I have mine already in place, would hate to be selling a house right now.

                                3. The stench coming from that state up north. Sometimes their homeless even come into our state.. UGH

                                4. Road construction seems to always be going on.

                                5. Teaching jobs, it's one of the worst in the country, took my wife 5 years to get a job.
