The Youngstown Family

Youngstown, Ohio. I used to live there. Old Mafia town that is very corrupt! It even made the Sopranos. It used to be called “The car bomb murder capital of the world.”

Don’t Go To Kamilo Beach or Kahuku Beach, Hawaii

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

What’s your expectancy of a beach? Sun? Surf? Sand? How about miles and miles of plastic? The shore of Kamilo Beach, located on Hawaii’s Big Island, actually has a new type of sand with plastic grains embedded into the rest. This collects at the surface of the beach and makes it very hard to have a pleasant time walking on it.

On Kahuku Beach in Honolulu, trash continually washes up on shore. Nets, tires, buoys, all sorts of debris washes up here. The golf balls in the sand can’t be easy on the feet either. Don’t go there.

Don’t Go To San Joaquin Valley, California

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Nestled near both San Francisco and Los Angeles, this valley is like a bowl of pollution stew. All of the smog from the major cities carries over and settle in the lower area, mingling with the heavy diesel pollution from the local agriculture communities. One of its cities, Arvin, has been dubbed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the most polluted in America. For goodness sakes, some people have to actually remain inside on some of the worst days! Childhood asthma is nearly 5% more common than anywhere else in the nation.

The neighboring city, Bakersfield, adds heat in from the highway for one broiling stinkfest. And Fresno, also in the area, has air that is proclaimed to be “just as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day”. 99 days of the year on average it is on orange alert for such contamination, and 15 days when it’s in code red! So unless you’d like to find yourself acquiring asthma, emphysema, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes, don’t go there!

Don’t go to MALLORCA, SPAIN

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I HAVE BEEN TO GERMANY, AUSTRIA, ITALY AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. I AM A FEMALE TRAVELING ALONE.

MALLORCA IS UNBELIEVABLY RUDE AND UNFRIENDLY. I WAS IN TEARS IN LESS THAN A WEEK AND WANTED TO COME HOME. IN FACT, LOOK AT TRIPADVISOR.COM AND DO A SEARCH FOR ‘UNFRIENDLY MALLORCA’ AND SEE HOW MUCH COMES UP. WISH I HAD DONE THAT.
