Burning Question: Where's the worst place to work for Uncle Sam?

People who have worked for the government in various locations around the country know that there are advantages and disadvantages to different locales. But where are the worst places to live while you're working for Uncle Sam?

At GovLoop, founder and top dog Steve Ressler takes up this question in a blog post (registration required).

It's a varied list, with some locations that might surprise you. We won't give away all of them, but here are a couple of intriguing ones:

• "Baltimore - You are the field location HQ always comes to. They always bring the new bigwig by to show off and pay close attention when you are screwing up."
• "Crane, IN or other ridiculously small town in the middle of nowhere that has random big gov't facility. ... For those not married, it is a nightmare when driving 3 hours to Indianapolis is the nightlife."
