This MA City Is Just "Plain Old Ugly" In Nature

There are some truly beautiful cities across the United States and there are some downright ugly ones and here in Massachusetts, a popular suburb of Boston takes the top honor. Ironically, it is known as "The City Of Champions" but it seems to lack maintenance and an array of poor design choices. Let's not keep you in suspense any longer: What is The Bay State's "ugliest" city?

The answer: Brockton, Massachusetts which has been deemed as an eyesore for those residing and visiting. Alot's web site was pretty harsh regarding their review:

“The only architecturally interesting part of Brockton is City Hall. The rest of the buildings are organized like a budget version of Paris with all of the straight-edged roads, squished townhouses, and a famous library.”

One positive attribute regarding this city: The Undefeated Heavyweight Boxer Rocky Marciano was born in Brockton and one bright spot to check out is a statue bearing his likeness which was erected after his untimely passing in 1969. He was also known as "The Brockton Blockbuster"' and "The Rock From Brockton".
