Number 47 is definitely a shit hole
 
168,
I remember that CAT!

My ex wife saw Marv (crazy man who built and drove it) coming out of the gas station on the main drag the day before that with 2 Almond Joys in his hand. She has known him for a few years I guess.
She lived in Granby at the time and always said as she stayed home during the rampage, she was wondering if he was eating them while destroying the town.

Randall Tex Cobb quotes.

"If you screw things up in tennis, it's 15-love. If you screw up in boxing, it's your ass."

(When informed that Howard Cosell quit boxing after his fight with Larry Holmes) "My gift to boxing."

When asked about how he was going to fight Holmes by Howard Cosell "Well Howie, I think I'm going to stay outside and outjab him"

(Asked about a possible rematch against Larry Holmes) "I dont think his hands can take the abuse"

Asked about fighting Holmes again "Only if it's held in a phone booth"

"Larry Holmes doesn't hit as hard as Earnie Shavers. Nobody hits like Shavers. If anybody hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him."

"Larry Holmes didn't beat me he just won the first 15 rounds"

Mills Lane stopped the action to ask Cobb if he was okay in a fight in Reno. When Cobb replied that he was, Lane asked him, "Do you know where you are?" Cobb replied, "I am in Reno, getting the shit kicked out of me."

Versus Larry Holmes, the action was stopped so the ref could check on Cobb. He asked him, "Do you see me?" Cobb replies, "Yeah. You're white. It's the black guy I'm worried about."

"Earnie Shavers could punch you in the neck and break your ankle".

When Cobb heard what Cosell had said during the Holmes fight "I'll go another 15 rounds with Holmes if Howard will quit announcing football!"

"I stuck to my game plan -- stumbling forward and getting hit in the face."

"They called me a fat, cowardly, cocaine-snorting, fight-fixing
cheat," Who they calling fat!"

(When asked about continuing his career) "Better than getting a real job, right!"

"I was only knocked out once, by a Mexican bantamweight, you wanna know how come? Six of my pals were swinging him 'round by his heels at the time.."

"I'll do anything to keep from working for a living, if I've gotta fight a circus bear, then let's get the drawers on him and get it on!!"

When tex cobb was on Johnny Carson soon after the Holmes fight, Carson commented on how Holmes kept landing his jab on Cobb. Cobb said "you noticed that too?"

During the referee's instructions prior to his bout with Shavers, the ref asked the customary "Any questions"? Cobb replied "Can I bite him"?

1. Detroit, Michigan
2. Flint, Michigan
3. St. Louis, Missouri
4. Las Vegas [is the lack of a state here a sign of disgust?]
5. Memphis, Tennessee
6. Cleveland, Ohio
10. Baltimore, Maryland
17. Pueblo, Colorado
18. Rockford, Illinois
19. Gary, Indiana
24. Miami Beach, Florida
25. Daytona Beach, Florida
29. Oakland, California
30. Dayton, Ohio
35. Buffalo, New York
43. Miami, Florida
49. Atlanta

Some on the list I don't agree with but I can confirm the above by either living in and around some of them (#'s 1-3), working there, etc.

Are these a list of US Shitholes?

Oakland should be near the top of the list.

I didn't agree with some of the choices either. Baltimore at 10 is being generous, and Atlanta at 49 is a joke. Atlanta is an easy bottom 10 city. I think they left out a lot of CA cities because that state could fill the entire list. To not mention North Hollywood, San Francisco, Huntington Beach, Bakersfield and so on does the list an injustice.

Seriously. No Philly? No Camden, NJ?
