West Palm Beach, Florida: America's 7th Most Depressing Place....

West Palm Beach: America’s 7th most depressing place?

What do Detroit; Flint, Mich.; and West Palm Beach have in common?

They’re all among America’s most depressing places, according to a recent list in The Business Insider.

Yeah, even our pretty beaches and swaying palm trees couldn’t keep us from being compared to decaying industrial behemoths and the butt of Michael Moore’s Roger & Me documentary.

Why?

Is it because of our acres of ugly strip malls? Our corrupt politicians? The grotesque fish lips and silcone-stuffed chests of half the female population?

We’re sure none of that helps, but Business Insider cites our condo-bubble collapse and subsequent condo vultures.

The Business Insider pollster didn't ask us or he would've reported Punkah playing at A Latte Fun for 3 hours straight (or to the point of sheer exhaustion) and his dad dancing to Coldplay in his boxers in the middle of the living room. Elise? She was reading "Curious George & the Pancake Breakfast" for the thousandth time. I couldn't tell, though. She read it with the same enthusiasm she had the first time she opened the book.
