Anybody ever been to Kelly or Corning? What about Goff and Wetmore? For extremely small towns, Goff would probably have this thing in the bag.

There's this town called Globe, KS, out sorta close to Baldwin I used to drive through sometimes.

towns under 500 should be exempt IMO

Parker, KS is pretty shitty and it also has the unfortunate distinction of being Brownback's hometown.

Straight talk (honest) about SEK: Coffeyville makes Parsons look charming and quaint. It's like a Parsons dip cone, but the shell is oil runoff and the inside is hot garbage and abandoned wal-marts.

I learned to drive in an abandoned Wal-Mart parking lot.

New Cambria still exists, you noobs.

slucat · « **Reply #543 on:** September 03, 2014, 05:05:01 PM »

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.

I know it still exists, we drove through it a few year ago. Just not much left.

new cambria is about six minutes from my driveway and i've never been there

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #546 on:** September 03, 2014, 05:37:41 PM »

I drove through it/by it last week and didn't realize it had a name.

The worst town in Kansas is Washington. After that, Stockton. Then anyone of a dozen coal towns in Southeast kansas (Galena has been mentioned often, I'd add iola).
