Least favorite city: Cairo, Illinois. Time magazine had a story on them when they did the Mississippi River feature a few weeks ago. When the liquor stores have closed up for lack of business, and population has crashed from 20k to 5k in recent years.

I've been through some rough parts of Detroit, Chicago, and Washington D.C., but this place had the absolute creepiest vibes of any of them. Maybe it's the giant floodwall that serves to keep the city seperated from the rest of the universe, or the dead looks in the faces of people there.

If you've even in the area (closest commercial apt is probably Padycah, KY) check it out.
