The "ugliest" city in New York State may surprise you. Can you guess what it is? Here's a hint, it's not New York City, or anywhere close.

Alot Travel recently released their list of "The Ugliest Cities in Each State."

The website notes while the places on the list "may be great places to live, these cities won't be winning beauty contests anytime soon!"

Alot Travel didn't go into great detail about why each city made the list but noted "lack of maintenance or just poor design choices," made each choice an "eyesore."

Places that made the list include Detroit, Michigan; Baltimore, Maryland; Panama City, Florida; Nome, Alaska; Reno, Nevada; Hazard, Kentucky; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Brockton, Massachusetts; New Haven, Connecticut; Birmingham, Alabama; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Memphis, Tennessee.
