    Hey I did the St. Cloud roadtrip twice, and I've seen it. I know.

    I have said this before, but I did the first trip solo, and I stayed at the Thrifty Motel on the other side of the river. I have never seen a sadder bunch of people outside of either the Tenderloin in Frisco after dark, or the real Skid Row (in LA).

      That's a tough league. I'd also submit:

      Montreal: Greek wharves
      Hoboken

      That's my hat trick of skid rows (skids row?). Woof.

          It's St Paddy's Day this weekend. And we have St Paul capitol. Just wait for it.
          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            You've been there?

            Montreal has cleaned up a lot, I think. Perhaps at the expense of Vancouver's homeless population. Milder winters.

                  I haven't been to Hoboken in a dozen years.

                  The true **** hole town in NJ is Elizabeth, but I was only counting skid rows.

                            I'm going to assume.

                            Anybody wanna tell me about Richland Center? I notice it's just west of a tiny town called "Ithaca"! Anyone wanna tell me about the metropolis of Ithaca, WI?

                              Richland Center is located in an area of SW Wisconsin known as the driftless region because it is unglaciated. Consequently, it is hilly and heavily wooded. Both it and Ithaca are close to Amish communities, so when you drive in from the east on county and state highways, there may well be buggies on the road and, if it's around 8a. or 3:30p. kids walking and on bikes and pony carts. It is a predictably conservative area, with a sprinkling of liberals, old hippies, and artists who chose the area for its bucolic setting. Cardinal Raymond Burke was raised in RC and, not surprisingly, is opposed to anything the least bit progressive. RC had a tiny little cafe downtown that served great bisquits and gravy, but it closed. The annual truck and tractor pull at the fairgrounds is a big deal, and the Wisconsin High School Rodeo championship will be held there next year.

                              The Pennys store at the outlet mall closed last year, but it has a Walmart store where you can buy your bib overalls, broccoli, and beer. The now retired but long-time state representative from that area was republican but moderate and surprisingly able to think outside the R box and negotiate solutions.

                              Ithaca is tiny but has a high school. Gas station but no restaurant. The softball field next to the high school is decent--or was 10 years ago. The high school must have had a good art teacher in recent years, because a lot of their kids' artwork would show up at local venues and was surprisingly good.

                              Good trout streams in the area, though I don't fly fish.

                                The driftless region of Wisconsin is very interesting. There are many little areas where the climate is essentially like it was during the ice age. Almost like being in a cave, of which there are also many in the area.
                                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
