A personal question

Have you ever been confounded by a city or town? Maybe you thought, however inexplicably, that it was a bad place; or maybe it was a good place but it seemed unknowable from the outset and never got any less so, or maybe its layout seemed deliberately intended to trip you up at every turn; or maybe it was a place you wanted desperately to escape and it took a long time, longer than it really should've. Stuff like that.

If you've experienced this: what is that place for you? And how did it affect your perceptions? Let's talk about that.
