"A festering wound of a town"

I know I whine a lot about my 3rd world style hometown. Lest anyone think I exaggerate, the town (Forks) has now been officially recognized for its suck by a book called The Absolutely Worst Places to Live in America, which gave it an honorable mention. Thanks to Tivoli for sharing this article with me and confirming what I already knew. I may have to revise my (as yet unwritten) life dream in favor of a continuation of my children's urban upbringing.
