LOL

At the very start of the "pandemic", I had to prove I was "essential" to the dirka dirka at the Super 8 Motel in Upperlake, CA!

I asked the MFer if they get alot of people vacationing at the Super 8 in Upperlake!

At least I'm over it! LOL


Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

It was a Roadway Inn, what were you expecting, La Quinta?

Rio7, JDK and Winchester21 are on the mark. Some other places in the area in/around Philly are just as bad.

I've driven through a lot of them. But the only one I saw up close was Baltimore. I got off the beaten path in Baltimore and drove around for a while in the biggest, worst ghetto I had ever seen. It was big enough that I had a difficult time finding my way out of it. At the time, it seemed like the entire city was bombed out ghetto. I eventually made my way to a business district in the center of the city. But it was small and as soon as you exited it you were back in the ghetto.

Pine Bluff, Arkansas would be a close 2nd to Memphis, just on a smaller scale. Folks there don’t realize the crap hole they live in. They tend to figure it out when they spend some time outside the region.
