What are the most beatdown places you've visited?

Chadbourne is no Tabor City.

I went to Cleveland a week ago. Epic shithole.
 
Dillon SC for a small town and Camden NJ is a place I drove through that was really scary.

Being from Bladen County, NC I can speak authoritatively of the shittiness of all these places. But, Pink Hill in Duplin County is the clear winner.

Also if it's between chadbourn and tabor, chadbourn takes the title of shittest place in Columbus county by a mile.
 
My family rented a jeep in Aruba to go tour the island away from the resorts. Depressing in every way. Pretty much ruined the allure of the Caribbean as a vacation destination for me.

Oh, you mean metropolises of the likes of Whiteville and Chadbourne? Yeah, I've been there, too. Bladenboro and Snow Hill are noteworthy as well.

To me, Laurinburg and Lumberton are just innovative in the way that they suck.

To paraphrase an old Mac Davis song, Happiness is Lumberton in my rear view mirror.

Rural Aruba is a paradise compared to rural Jamaica
 
The former Randy Parton Theatre in Roanoke Rapids is pretty terrible. Magistrates' Court in Hertford was eye-opening as well.

Hope, Arkansas is a shithole.
 
If you take a carribean cruise that gives you time to explore the countries, almost all of them are crappy outside the tourist areas. in hati we weren't allowed past a massive razor wire topped curtain wall separating the tourist area from the island at large. pretty sure all of hati is (was before the hurricane?) one giant shantytown.

sad these places are in our back yard.

Laurinburg has an amazing array of fast food restaurants. Like all them, in a 5 square mile radius.

And not to be overlooked are the array of "internet cafes" throughout the city.
Laurinburg used to be a great place to live; not a whole lot to do but a pretty downtown & neighborhoods made up of hard-working folks and a healthy economy that was a good mix of farmers, small business owners and a thriving industrial base. When many of the manufacturers up and left, the town basically went with it; plus, St. Andrews College has been off/on life support for years. They do have a decent regional hospital system and Fighting Scots football, so there's that.

Can't really argue with that assessment.
 
South Carolina between Columbia and the coast, rural Mississippi, rural Florida between Jacksonville and Gainesville.

All time champion was Freeport, Bahamas. Get away from the casino and marina and most of the homes have bullet homes. Tropical Mogadishu.
 
Mobile, Alabama (before Katrina) was probably my worst experience outside of the shitholes I pass through on the way to the beach. New Orleans really doesn't get the credit it deserves for being the grimiest big city in the states, and I base this on seeing the city pre-Katrina.
 
Ile de la Gonave, Ouest, Haiti

Spent 15 days there in the early 90's. At the time, relief organizations tagged it the poorest land mass in the western hemisphere.

My aunt went on a mission trip to Haiti and came back the most grateful and down to earth woman you'd ever meet. She said you were considered "rich" if you could afford a Coke.
