Butte, MT.
What other town is so proud of its EPA toxic waste site that it has a visitors center?
And a giant Virgin Mary statue overseeing it all?

Tri-Cities Washington (Hanford)! They've got the most polluted nuclear waste site in the US and it's a National Park to boot!

you can tour the B-reactor. That's gotta count for something - a little radiation with your sightseeing.
Here's a virtual tour that you can take from the safety of your home/office with no risk of radioactivity:

i like that Butte (Poisonville, USA) is decaying resource extraction west with it's pollution, old buildings, rot and vacant lots and not some interchangeable shithole yuppie neuwest crapfest of organic bbq paleo winebars..... but I'm weird.
the dystopian spread of the crap minimalist aesthetic to everything yuppie is distinctly weird. not that we need to go high victorian clutter, just damnit, stop with shit slab furniture everything.

thankfully im not there yet and may have caught the mild gum disease early enough. There is some bone loss, but no grafting will be done and no teeth in immediate danger of falling out.. I go in for a couple trouble teeth that will need some Novocaine to clean next week.
Always fun times. I especially love it when the Doc decides he's going to tell me when he hits a tooth that the gums bleed on profusely. like I dont need that info doc, but thanks.

Ditto x 3. I've always had a blast in Butte and love it's quirky, gritty charm. Happened to stop in town during Knievel Days and man, that was something else. I'm sure it has everything to do with it's mining culture and strong Irish heritage, but there's a certain feistiness that Butte has that very few others have. Haven't made it yet, but I've heard that St. Patty's Day there is pretty bonkers. Def on my bucket list.
I'll take the drunken, feisty, poor mining town ANY time over the manbun-infested, trust funder, hipsterlopolis that Bozeman has become.

Which is too bad, because fkna it was a wonderful place to grow up. Things were noticably different (to me) by the early 2000s.
The mountains and rivers still rule despite the Big Sky Trustafari, the highly visible minority ever side-eyed by long-time locdogs... lest the inhabitants be conflated with the landscape.
So in that way, Gentrified Bozeman is pretty fuckin weird now.

I visited a friend in Tampa in the late 80’s. He was in a band and I went to see them play at a place in what they called CarnyTown. It’s where all the carnys go in the winter
