What city to avoid why?

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

There sure is a lot of hating on St Louis.........but I would agree, a year and a half during college was enough for me.

I would have trouble living in most of the middle half of the country. It's either too flat, too cold or too hot in the summer. I have to have my mountains (the REAL kind, not what some of you call mountains) and water. And I don't want hurricanes or tornadoes.
