Edit:
These are what people have suggested to me I am not necessarily saying these streets are ugly to all in fact I am sure most streets can and will be defended.
some late addons:
Mitchell St in South End Halifax
Albermarle St behind Scotia Sq.
McIntosh St in Spryfield so sketchy that the Google Car didn’t even drive down it
Kempt Road is a great nominee. Also King St. and Macintosh St. in Halifax, and Sackville Drive.
Agricola between North and Young….really?? FRED, Gus’s/Ace Burger, Pottery shop, Foxy Moon, Upscale furniture store, three antique shops, Bloomfield school AND a community garden? Maynard? Has no one noticed the beautiful work that has been done to houses on that street? Wow.
