Which State Has The Worst Capital?
 
From my visits, I would say Trenton.

_Lisa_ 06-23-2004 10:20 AM

What is the criteria?

Maybe Cheyenne, Wyoming? I drove through once. Wyoming is just desolate.

Your own.

Well, in that case I'd have to say Frankfort, KY. It isn't a city by any means more like a tiny little town & a dirty one @ that. There isn't anything of interest there except for a few gas stations, some small restaurants (maybe a Cracker Barrel & Applebee's as for the only chain restaurants) & then the capital building. I've always thought that Lexington or Louisville should be the capital of KY.

As someone from CT, and from a suburb of the capital, I'm partial...but I know a bunch of people don't like Hartford.

Montgomery, Alabama...
the building itself is nice and there's a lot of history in the area surrounding it but the rest of the city is DIRTY....I work here and there is no way you could pay me to EVER live here....

NJ isn't a state. It is a reststop between NY and DC.

Hartford is so damn ugly. But let's just say that the only good project going on there is being done through my firm :D

Topeka isn't too bad, but also kind of dirty...

Lincoln is a great place - definitely helped by having the University here, and it is the 2nd largest city in the state. However how many of you would want your capitol building known as the "Penis on the Prarie"?

This is "The Sower" a 19 ft tall statue on the very top of the Nebraska State Capitol building.

So you tell me, was the designer of the Capitol completely sex crazed? I mean here you have this giant phallus, and on the very tip you have a man throwing seed out across the land!

Wow all things considered, and reading about the "penis on the prairie", I don't think Sacramento is so bad anymore.

And no, I'm not hating on my Sacramento GCers, I just think it's a boring place.

ETA: I'm surprised that the ACLU hasn't made the state change its capital name yet since they told L.A. that they would take them to court if they didn't remove a miniscule cross from the seal. I mean look at our state capital's name Sacrament-o, religious? Yeah!:rolleyes: Next we will have to go changing all of the San/Santa cities because they are saints names.

Come now, people, Tallahassee isn't that bad. Yes, there are a bunch of annoying college students there and more strip clubs than you can shake a stick at, but it's not a horrible place :)

I think I have to agree with tsuadpi859 and say Montgomery, Alabama.
