Detroit Named The Top City To 'Avoid At All Costs

According to The Vacationer's research, Detroit is the number one city to avoid at all costs.

When I was living in Florida, I had an opportunity to travel to Detroit to audition for a radio job (I didn't get it). While I was there, during winter, I remember that I kept thinking, "if I get this job, I'm flying home every weekend." It wasn't so much the city, although I did notice there were many abandoned and boarded up buildings, it was more so the cold temperature. Now, I live in Buffalo, so I guess Karma got me. I do feel like Detroit and many rust belt cities get picked on because the industrial heyday is mostly gone, but the ghost of it lives on in these places.
