5 Cities In Texas Guaranteed To Have A Bad Vibe! Avoid Them If You Can
Misery loves company, right? Isn't that how the saying goes? It does tend to be true in terms of people. Those who are extremely unhappy tend to bring others down with their poor me, nothing good ever happens to me attitude. Be careful because those types of folks can suck the life right out of you.
But what if 'miserable' was a town, a city a place to live? Would you want to live in a city known to be one of the most miserable in your state? I sure wouldn't want to move somewhere that is considered miserable. Oddly enough there is actually a list of the most miserable cities in Texas. Should we be concerned? Did Midland or Odessa make this miserable list? How about any of the small towns here in West Texas? See the list for yourself.
TOP 5 MOST MISERABLE CITIES IN TEXAS ACCORDING TO BUSINESS INSIDER:
1.PORT ARTHUR TEXAS-

Just a short drive away from Brownsville and the U.S.-Mexico border, Harlingen often experiences influxes of immigrants.
5. PASADENA TEXAS- for starters, I had no clue there was such a city in Texas and I was born and raised in this state. According to this article,
The small, working-class city was once the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan. Now, petrochemical plants litter the cityscape, and one-fifth of the city's population lives in poverty.
Fortunately, Midland-Odessa, surrounding small towns did not make this list and in all honesty, I myself have never been to any of the Texas cities in the top 5 and I don't know that I want to visit anytime soon. If you have, do you agree with the list?
