Inspired by a convo in the "I'm New" thread... I've decided to make a thread to benefit all the travellers out there and warn them of places they would be better off avoiding. I know I've travelled without research and have on a couple occasions found myself in a place that I wanted to escape from as fast as possible!
Feel free to contribute and add to the list, and remember to keep it limited to places you're familiar with (ie. don't say Iraq, unless you're Rony31)...
I'll start the list with local Ontario places I wish I'd never been to:
(and please feel free to add to the list)
Haha, I have a friend who used to live in Keswick, he says it's like the welfare case/un-wed teen mother capital of Canada! I've never been, but the reviews have never been flattering..

Chatham, ON - Like Keswick, only bigger.
Welland, ON - The town goes to sleep at 6:00 pm, not that there's any reason to stay awake in that dull grey dump.
Aylmer, ON - Should be moved to Mississippi, most redneck Canadian town I've ever been too. If you don't drive a Dodge pick-up you might as well wear a skirt and gay-bash yourself. Plus everyone's actually related to some degree, no really..
St. Thomas, ON - Again, like Keswick, only with lots of biker gang activity. Plus, most of the street urchins in London, ON seem to have migrated from St. Thomas
Sarnia, ON - Canada's chemical valley...so many chemical factories in that area that sometimes there's a heavy sulfur smell in the air all around the town. I've driven through there and had to roll up my window because the outside air smells like a big nasty fart....which is kinda ironic since usually you have to open a window to release fart gas outside.
Niagara Falls, NY - Entire city is a ghetto...no redeeming qualities.
