this should be broken into quadrants, there are so many crappy towns.
i'm totally impartial having not grown up in KS so i have no rival town or these people suck or my town is the worst because...
SE-Galena, it is a superfund site and the whole town was bought out; case closed.
NE-Elwood, devastated by the '93 flood and is little bro to St. Joe, MO.
SW-Protection/Kingman; both are just horrible
NW-Norton/St. Francis; tough call both are the worst of what is probably the "nicest" part of the state
If you go bigger than XXXX residents, that might change the list, but for realz guyz, to quote choice hotels, "I've been everywhere, man" -in KS.
