America's Most Miserable Cities
Forbes has collected America's 10 Most Miserable Cities. True, it may suck to live in these cities, but at least you can take pride in knowing that you're tough enough. Flex those muscles.
America's Most Miserable Cities:
10. Providence, R.I.
Rhode Island loves your tax money, baby. Only NYC is worse. Maybe that's why everyone is leaving?
9 Charlotte, NC
Bank of America and Wachovia call this city home, which doesn't bode well for its unemployment rates.
8.Modesto, California
If you don't have a job, move to Modesto! You'll fit right in.
7.Los Angeles
Do you like driving, paying taxes and breathing pollution? Los Angeles is for you!
6.Chicago
If you like disappointing sports teams, wasting the best part of every day sitting in mind-bending traffic jams and freezing your ass off—move to my hometown—Chicago! If you're not sure you can take it, google "Gaper's Block" before you make any decisions.
5.Philadelphia
What do you get when you add long commutes, toxic waste, and violent crime? Sports fans who boo Santa Claus.
4. New York City
High income taxes, stupidly expensive housing, "the costs can make all but the super-wealthy miserable."
3. Flint, Michigan
You can buy a house for $104,000... but where will you work?
2.Stockton, California
Stockton is the epicenter of the subprime meltdown. What more do you need to say?
1. Detroit
The Motor City has high unemployment and tops the country when it comes to violent crime. As if that wasn't bad enough—Detroit is toxic. It's near the top of the list of cities that require the most Superfund dollars to clean up toxic waste sites. Congratulations, Detroit! You're the most miserable people in the U.S.!

industrial pollution...randy newman even wrote a song about it
There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake
There's a red moon rising
ON the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake
There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake
There's an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake
Cleveland city of light city of magic
Cleveland city of light you're calling me
Cleveland, even now I can remember
'Cause the Cuyahoga River
Goes smokin' through my dreams
Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
Now the Lord can make you tumble
And the Lord can make you turn
And the Lord can make you overflow
But the Lord can't make you burn
Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on

East St. Louis should have easily made it on that list.
