I remember living in Shaker Hights, Ohio and that was no fun. I am sure Canton is worse.

I spent a lot of time in a suburb of Buffalo (Orchard Park) back in the 90s, and while it was nice, I'm not surprised it's on the list. It seems to have suffered the same fate of other industrial-based cities, due to the industry collapsing (like Philly) and not much around to immediately replace it.

The tons of snowfall from Lake Erie probably don't make things any happier either. Although to clear up a popular misconception, Buffalo isn't the snowfall capital of NY... that title belongs to Syracuse, as you can see here:

I live north of Walsh between Middlebranch and Market St I am a little bit farther away. We used to live right off W Tusc By Aultman Hospital.

Austin, TX is nowhere on there!

We have a great economy here....and sometimes a plane in a building...
