Most disappointing travel destination?

Mobile, Alabama. I had visions of it being like Savanah or Charleston. Everything was torn up, dirty, and unattractive. We started a walking "historic" tour and what we got were a whole lot of falling down buildings with printed descriptions on the brochure of what used to be there or why these unrepaired buildings were supposed to be important. After an hour or two of not seing one impressive sight, we abandoned the plan.

Took the kids to Hershey PA, the factory was a video tour on a train car, the historic tour went on and on and on about how much the Hershey's had done for the area and the music that played non-stop made us feel like we were in the Twilight Zone, and the park was closed. After a day the chocolate smell that permeates everything was nauseating. Only as a punishment would we return what a waste of time.

If you REALLY want to be disappointed, try Tombstone, AZ. I've been fascinated with Wyatt Earp since I was a child, have since become acquainted with the TV actor who played him. We were in Tucson & thought it would be a good opportunity to see Tombstone. It gave new meaning to the word "tacky".
