Is the absolute worst city, that I've been through, to drive through (north/south). Absolute worst. Rivals?

I always hated going through Dayton on 70 when I lived in Indy.

Define worse. As long as you stay on the highway it only take like 8 minutes.

70 isn't bad at all (Now that the 70/75 interchange is done). 75 through Dayton is MRSA on top of AIDS.

Hillsboro has to rival any small town.

And of course Wellston sucks.

1. Youngstown
2. Canton

Outside of Ohio, my job covers Memphis and Atlanta. Hate to be so stereotypical, but it's a lot of absolute trash down there, in many ways...

Dayton... Engagement... Marion.

I like the way you think.

Memphis is an absolute $&%hole. For some reason in the early 90's people thought it was cool because of the film, "The Firm" and there was some movement by the tourist board to trump up Beale Street (see the song Walking in Memphis) and the BBQ. The truth is that Memphis is dangerous, the BBQ isn't any better than what you would find anywhere else, aside from the Blues Festival there is nothing to do and FedEx has to beg to keep employees there.

75/70 through Dayton isn't as bad as most of you are cracking it up to be. Columbus/Cinci/Cleveland rush hour traffic easily trumps it.

Go to Washington DC and drive on any major highway and get back to me.

No shit. There's maybe one hour out of the day where traffic in Dayton is bad. With the other 23, as long as your eyes are open, you'll get through it fine. Apparently driving through construction is too hard for Ernest.

Yeah. A couple years ago, two of my friends were getting married. In Dayton. I had to pick up a friend at the airport (north edge) and drive all the way through on the freeway to get to Cinci to stay the night at another friends, before coming back up for the wedding and reception. The whole "driving thru Dayton" part was just pure fucking shitty ass hell.

Damn, that shit was so fucking annoying. Cruising down the freeway and boom, you're in two-lane territory and a few miles later, have to drive through this little shitty town. Only positive was the big-ass liquor store on the south side

To add- Phoenix sucks and it's even worse during the winter months. When I lived there they were still working on the loops. Beforehand it was all stop and go, dealing with lights.....which you were guaranteed after it turned red at least three cars would go through anyways.
Phoenix drivers are horrible.

Right now heading North you'll see a pontoon boat on the side of the road.

Yeah when I left they were just starting that. Went back for homecoming and it looked like it was going to be pretty sweet.

It's supposed to be done next month. They have the first two phases open.
