Worst in the State: Travel Website Says Camden, NJ, is Butt Ugly

One town in New Jersey was just named the ugliest in the entire state and, as a matter of opinion, one of the worst in the country.

Talk about adding insult to injury...

The editors at travel.alot.com decided to assemble a list of the ugliest cities in each state.

Of their task, they said,

Before we dive in, know this: they didn't reveal how they built this list. From what I can tell, there's no real methodology to it. They may have just randomly picked cities on Google Maps until they found blighted neighborhoods. Who knows.

Big and small

Big cities like Albany, NY, and Baltimore, MD, made the cut, as were tiny communities like Nome, Alaska -- because when it's -50°F, your greatest concern is making sure your town looks pretty...

Winner, South Dakota, was also on the list. It's a whole 2.2 square miles in size and home to about 3,000 people. Honestly, it doesn't seem like an ugly place.

So what did they say is the ugliest city in New Jersey?

Camden.

Of course. Shocking, right?

Once again, a bunch of people have come along and decided to trash Camden (besides the people that literally did).

I mean, let's be honest, it's not a place where you want to be walking around alone at 2:00 in the morning, but that's still a low blow for a city where many of its people struggle to make ends meet day in and day out.
