Ranking at number one, in the top ten saddest cities in America, is the not so surprising Las Vegas, Nevada. From all the sad gamblers, drinkers, and non-stop party goers, this 24/7 party city caters the needs of the most depressed people in America.
Ranking at number two is Reno, Nevada. Now, I've never been to Reno. In fact, the most I know about Reno is from watching that ridiculous television show on Comedy Central "Reno 911". This being a neighboring city to Las Vegas, it's understandable how this rated as the second saddest city.
The rest are: Miami Florida at #3, Birmingham, Alabama at #4, St. Louis, Missouri at #5, Louisville, Kentucky at #6, Tampa, Florida at #7, Memphis, Tennessee at #8, Detroit, Michigan at #9, and St. Petersburg, Florida at #10.

To my astonishment, my hometown Phoenix, Arizona was not on this list. Most people, I'm talking 98%, who come here from other states say how depressing the valley is. Everything is dead and beige colored. The trees don't really blend together because they're all planted. It gets almost 120 degrees ferhenheit over the summer, sometime a hundred and holy shit. And, to top this off, Arizona has one of the highest rates of elderly deaths because when people get old, they come to Arizona to "enjoy" the rest of their retired lives. So, in a nut shell, Arizona is where people come to die.
