Shiloh Town

A place that seemingly everybody wants to get away from; The opposite of a tourist magnet.

The Dreadnoughts, a Canadian folk-punk band, have referenced Shiloh Town in several songs on their album 'Into the North'. It's almost always described as a lower-class village on the Mississippi River, inhabited by "river rats, junkers, and sailors". Since then, the term has come to define any place where you'd rather not be.

"Let's get the hell away from Shiloh Town!"

--The Dreadnoughts, in 'Into the North'
