    Took too long to get thru this but thanks for posting....every click on the slideshow cleared the screen and had to scroll to the next. I guess not too much was surprise except that MA is dirtier than Jersey. You would have thought Katrina would have helped New Orleans to clean up but I guess nothing can help that rat and roach infested place.

    Brentwood california is pretty clean I must say. I have been to dirty city's before like Oakland even the sidewalks are dirty, gummed up stains urin smells just nasty. makes you wonder what the inside of people homes really look like, if you can't even pick up garbage that is right in front of your home., and you just watch people throw trash right out of there cars like big things, big bags of garbage.

    Where I live now can't even be called a city. Little Rock, AR is a cow town that thinks it's a city. But "my" city... the place I consider home whether I live there or not... Los Angeles IS on the list at #4. But I still love it, pollution and smog and all! :)

    I don't live in a city, prefer the clean air and freedom in the country. Most cities are dirty and disgusting, just a matter of degree is all.

    Playa del Rey, CA. Yes, this is within LA but LA is so sprawling, no one can tell where it ends or begins. If Travel and Leisure is so picky, they should rate Mombai, Tonga, and other places that they write about. They never mention the negatives there though. It's only bash America time!

    Baltimore city is on the list. !! The tourists must looked in some of the alleys and left the inner harbor area ?? Mayor Rawlings Blake is not a happy mayor about this !! Basically Baltimoreans like the tourists. I know that I do !

    I never understood why a tourist would want to go to Baltimore. The inner harbor is no exception. Have you looked in the bay? It's like the runoff from a garbage dump. I'll admit it has gotten better but damn that water is nasty.

    Phoenix/Scottsdale. But to be fair about Scottsdale, the only reason it's dirty is due to the massive dust storms we get out here.

    Yep, # 4 on the list. Let's hear it for the L.A. smog. Don't trust air you can't see...
