The financial experts at 24/7 Wall Street have named to worst town to line in every state, and the dubious honor went to an Upstate city.

Full disclaimer, I take all of these 'worst of' studies with a grain of salt. They pop up all the time like the Trashiest Cities In New York or New York's Worst Small Towns. It is too easy to pass judgment on a community with an outside view purely based on data and not real-life experience. You can see the scars on any city with this methodology, without seeing the great things they all have to offer. So here at GNA - we have nothing but love for all our Capital Region cities and towns because we know firsthand all the great people who call them home.
