Knoxville is one of these.
As it happens, my Dad grew up in Knoxville.
Not Knoxville TN, mind you. Knoxville borough, on the South Side of Pittsburgh. 100 years ago, it was chock full of middle class folks like my Dad's family, who moved there from the working class areas down by the Monongahela, then known as Birmingham. Now Birmingham has become the South Side Flats, and has moved upscale, with lots of folks renovating the mid-19th Century houses there. Meanwhile, Knoxville has become kind of a wasteland.
