Ugliest City In America

With our wetlands, swamps, forests, lakes, and beaches, Louisiana is home is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country.

Although Mother Nature may have done her part in creating incredible natural views across Louisiana, it seems we haven't done such a good job when it comes to our towns and cities.

Not in all cases obviously, because Louisiana definitely has our fair share of breathtaking urban architecture around the state.

However, none of that is what this new list from Travel.Alot.Com is about.

When compiling their list of "The Ugliest Cities in Each State", they weren't necessarily focusing on things like trash and litter.

Instead, Travel.Alot.Com is taking a look at more permanent unflattering issues such as poor city planning and design choices and eye sores like rundown homes and businesses.

Sure, every town and city in Louisiana has rundown, abandoned houses, and buildings, but is there really one place in Louisiana that has more than the rest of the state?

According to Travel.Alot.Com, the answer is...yep.

There are plenty of lists about the most beautiful cities in Louisiana, but this list is the opposite.

From Travel.Alot.Com -

"Instead, we're taking a look at the opposite concept entirely: the ugliest cities to be found in the country we call our home.

Whether it's from lack of maintenance or just poor design choices, these fifty spots are more than an eyesore. They may be great places to live, but these cities won't be winning beauty contests anytime soon!"
