Small Minnesota Town Named 'Ugliest' in the Entire State

It's hard to deny the beauty of the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes. It's often described as one of the most appealing places to live in the entire U.S.

But, of course, there are always nits to pick, and the national publication, A Lot Travel picked one small town (which many have never even heard of) as the "ugliest" in the state.

That's right, tiny little Glencoe, Minnesota was chosen as the "ugliest" in the state. But why? Here's the reason:

That seems like a pretty big generalization to me. Having been to Glencoe on a few occasions, I've always enjoyed the small-town feeling you get there, combined with its close proximity to the Twin Cities metro.
