BBC World News America is a newscast hosted by Matt Frei and featuring Katty Kay and Ted Koppel. Our three part series takes me to some of the worst towns in America in a search for signs of economic vigor. You may have better suggestions for vacation spots: Kokomo, Indiana; Rockford, Illinois; Youngstown, Ohio.

Check out “Best of the Worst,” Monday, 6/28, Wednesday, 6/29, Friday, July 2. 6 pm EST, 7 pm Central on BBC America.
