http://www.forbes.com/2010/02/11/am...cities-business-beltway-miserable-cities.html OKC is not on that list, but Cleveland and 4 other Ohio cities are top in the 18.
The real story about OKC will get told when that young talent has the chance to move on and move up to a better city. I'm guessing Clay tries to throw some money at the players a little early in order lock em up longer. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I think Durant would be crazy to stay, but I also thought Malone would leave the Jazz.
The Midwest in general is horrible. Chicago is the ONLY exception. Trust me when I say, we are lucky to call Portland and the west coast home.
We need an NBA team in San Diego! Can't beat SD for living and it's a couple hour drive to the LA night life. The San Diego Thunder? Maybe they could replace the Chargers...
HCP what would you say are the worst nba cities since you go to all of them? Places like SLC and OKC just seem terrible.
I've been to St. Louis probably a half dozen times. Maybe the most hot girls per capita that I've ever seen. They don't call it the show-me state for nothing.
awesome strip clubs! that's all I saw there really. just crossed that bridge and hung a right. I had a blast in St. Louis though...the Landing was fun as hell to drink and party. I was there for a few days, St. Louis didn't seem as ghetto as people made it out to be but maybe I didn't go to the right hoods.
Minneapolis isn't THAT bad for 9 months of the year. I do agree with your point, though. Milwaukee - shitsville Indianapolis - turdtown Cleveland - please, just slit my wrists Cincinnatti -it's like God took a dump, and out popped Cincy Denver is a pretty nice city, but I guess I don't consider it 'midwest'. It and Salt Lake are 'mountain' in my mind.
Top few in no certain order........ NYC-Obviously San Francisco Chicago Boston Toronto-Feels like you are in Europe LA Miami D.C. Bottom few- Memphis- Other then Beale St., it just feels dirty! Luckily we stay right across from the arena. New Orleans- Feels like a 3rd world country, no joke! The only town I've ever been to that I don't feel safe in. OKC SLC Milwaukee Indy Cleveland The last 3 are awful! Detroit didn't make the list because we never actually go into the city. We are 50 miles out in the suburbs!
I used to go to St. Louis for work. I'd go to a floating casino on the east side of the river. We called it the life boat, because we feared for our lives trying to get to it.
St. Louis isn't that ghetto (well most parts) and I mostly hang in the suburbs when I go back. Its E. St. Louis which is on the Illinois side that is ghetto. Most of it is boarded up Section 8 housing and a white guy there sticks out like a sour thumb. St. Louis though is awesome, nothing better than going to a Cardinals game at Busch, especially when they're playing the Cubbies.
Do you guys stay in SF, or are you in the East Bay? Also, when playing the Nets, does you guys still stay in NYC, or do you dwell in the swamplands?
When I was young my parents use to always go on that. I think you board it kinda by the Arch, it was a long time ago though so I might be wrong.
