Sheboygan sounds like a made up name for a city.

A friend refers Sheboygan the Florida man news of Wisconsin. I been there for work and its a pretty good city.
Other than the obvious choices, I want to go with Chicagoland in general just because of the high taxes and living costs and how the crime pretty much spreads everywhere. I am still surprised Illinois hasn't cut that money sucking area into its own state. Its pretty sad sight in Illinois that all the gas stations and restaurants have video gambling to earn any tax revenue.

Gus Polinski and the Kenosha Kickers were very big in Sheboygan.

Memphis, Tennessee. Full of gangs, crime, one of the worst school systems in the country, and a glorious history of political corruption (which extends to the police) which makes sure the city remains a festering boil on the ass end of Tennessee. Thankfully it will fall into the river come the next major earthquake, but sadly they will make sure the country pays for it and the money they'll get will usher in a glorious new era of corruption for Memphis.
East St. Louis makes Detroit look like a beautiful modern utopia. You can see East St. Louis from the interstate, it's full of bombed out buildings, including this tower which is falling apart and is usually coated in grafitti. It's been named the most violent city in the US several times in the past few years alone. Fun fact, the entire city sits on top of what was once one of the largest Indian towns in the US, and I bet the reason the city is such a shithole is because all the dead Indians are pissed at the filth that goes on a few feet above their graves. Like Memphis above, it will also fall into the river in that same earthquake, and even less of value will be lost.
St. Louis is also pretty shit (one part of the downtown is full vandalized buildings overgrown with weeds, with the exception of the National Guard post there. But it looks like paradise compared to East St. Louis. I drove through Gary once too and it was pretty awful (giant bombed out hotel on the main road there), but East St. Louis is probably the worst city in the US. Never been to Camden, but I kind of want to see how bad it is. I hear nearby Trenton is awful too, and probably the worst state capital in the US (unless Washington DC counts).

I spent some time in Albuquerque earlier this year. It was like a weird amalgamation of Tijuana and Art Deco with a thin layer of meth residue covering the whole thing.
New Mexico in general was pretty shitty from what I experienced. It's unbelievable that anyone actually lives there. It was poverty and depression on a scale I didn't know existed. Plus the landscape was bleak and boring as shit. I went in expecting cool stuff like you'd see in Arizona. Cacti, interesting red bluffs and mountains, etc. There is some nice looking topography around Albuquerque, but the majority of the state is just barren, infertile fields. It's just goddamn depressing. Like something out of the Dust Bowl.
I also drove through Santa Fe and wasn't that impressed. People romanticize the hell out of it, but it didn't seem like anything special.

Santa-Fe was the rich californian's little secret hideaway city until fairly recently. About the only thing worth seeing there is that George R.R. Martin's personal 1 screen theater plays some awesome movies occasionally. That and Castro's restaurant on Cerillios rd.

Illinois hasn't ditched Chicago because Chicago runs Springfield. The state just elected a corrupt Chicago businessman as governor. Nothing ever changes. There is a pretty strong anti-Chicago sentiment downstate, but nothing will ever come of it. My hometown has taken a noticeable nosedive over the last decade as gentrification and crime have pushed the dindus south. It's really sad.
The state's going to implode soon anyway due to the pension crisis, so whatever. Let it burn. Maybe we'll get serious about secession after that

I just hope my state builds a wall to keep all the tax refugees from shitting up my state.

After watching a couple of episodes of the feel-bad documentary series Flint Town on Netflix, I think I found a real winner.

Woonsocket, RI. It's like the abandoned church and Walmart capital of New England.
