Bellevue, WA. Very eerie and felt like a simulation.

New Orleans felt just sketchy throughout.

And then there are fun ones (mostly in Ohio)

  • Random suburban road through the mixed woods / fields that suddenly slows down to 25MPH, with very neat lawns, clean buildings, but barely any people (usually there is a cop waiting for speeders).
  • Some side road between an interstate and suburban development goes down into a valley to some creepy Lovecraftian old town
  • In a middle of farm fields, a network of roads, clearly prepared for a residential development, but never finished, but they lead to a large patch of woods (yes, in middle of a farm field), and inside of it is a branch of a local university.

When I pass thomepugh surrey, bc, Canada, I feel their "stroads and burbs" parts are super ooky. I haven't been them rough to experience their mixed-use towers yet to see if that vibes well there too.

Also the only place in BC without cannabis stores. Strange...

Oh, I've been through a few. Most places in Ohio, but particularly Toledo and Cleveland. Sandusky, OH is also pretty off. Oh, and Cincinnati for hiring demons for its urban planning. I visited once and felt queasy the whole time. I mean, I don't have a problem with hills but Cinci is an M C Escher print mixed with a Sonic the Hedgehog stage. Helen, Georgia has a pretty rotten energy. Atlanta, GA isn't much better around Easter. Now, Atlanta was better when I lived there some years ago, but it seems to have dropped off sharply around the time I left. I'd say before that specifically Five Points and Buckhead, sometimes Inman Park, felt not good, but now a days it's probably the whole city. I definitely felt a shift which prompted me to get out when I did. Dallas, Texas. What cold, miserable people. And I can't really pick a place in Florida. I've been to a few, they all suck.

I like Las Vegas but I was a child so my memories are visiting my grandmother's trailer home, going to the YMCA, seeing kids that had year round school, going to a single show on the strip where I got heat exhaustion and threw up, and great grandmother and her cutting out paper dollies.

Vegas, no doubt! And I don't really remember the name of the country all that much, it was somewhere in the Pacific Islands. I was really young, but I remember not ever feeling comfortable.

Spartanburg, SC in the States, Purmerend in the Netherlands.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 hours ago

That's a diverse set of cities.

What specifically about Cleveland? Can't think of anything unusual compared to other midwest cities

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, Cleveland was always an uncomfortable stop on road trips. I’m not entirely sure why, nothing else felt like that. But it was the only place I always wanted to get out asap.

I’m sure there are places that people like, but I never saw them

Got robbed at gunpoint by two dudes on a vespa there.

Never again. Naples is a dump.
