| It is probably even uglier now. Didn't it get it by a tornado a week or two ago?
|

|
| It seems there are alot more ugly small towns than pretty ones.
My imagination runs free when I think of these once beautiful thriving small towns in their prime 100 years ago.
I find it ashame to see the shambles of these towns today.
Newtown, IN is pretty ugly. |

SW Saskatchewan | Some of the small towns listed here didn't really affect me but I have never seen desolation or despair writ bigger than my view of Cairo, Illinois! |
|

| At least there is one town out in the pan handle with an ugly name. I'ld feel kind of funny telling people I'm from Hooker, Oklahoma.

Wyoming | Battle Mountain, NV is far uglier. Goldfield has some charm. Battle Mountain has no, zero, zip charm. No old buildings. It is a town that houses the BLM, the BIA and an Indian rez. With that much government real estate in a small town, you can only imagine what it looks like: a low-rent version of Soviet-era architecture (ie, the generic double-wide in US gummint baby-poop brown) scattered across acres of sagebrush. If Battle Mountain isn't the anus of the US, it has to be pretty darn close to it. |

Kansas | Niles, Manchester, Detroit, Glendale, Westfall, Culver, Verdi, Elmo. All in KS. I can even show you where towns used to be that aren't there anymore (except maybe a house and maybe an old elevator. |
|

|
| The main street does have charm. The old Court house and hotel show what the town was like in it's boom times.

North End I-15 | I think Browning was the first Montana school to have armed guards patrol the school halls .
My 8th grade teacher was off the res . Great guy , good teacher. His stories of life there were our favorite times in class. This was back in the very early 50's . He went on to be very active in Indian affairs . @ first he wanted to escape , later to help. The poverty on Montana reservations is shocking . Real sad state of affairs . Just shows how badly our goverment can "help" |

SWOH | Haven't been through Peebles in quite a while, Ed, but from what I remember it is a hole. Palestine, Ohio is pretty ugly, too. |

Devils Lake, ND | Yeah, I shake my head when I drive through the res in the winter and see curtains hanging out the windows. An I've heard the Standing Rock Reservation north of you is one of the worse. |
