....no thanks hastings 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2020) Ive lived here my whole life and i strongly dislike it. extremely boring, very unsafe as theres 4+ halfway homes within a 1 mile radius of my home, with 3 kids living here, i find it veeeery unnerving that theres a rapist and murderer literally across the street from my house.

t ...Read More humbs down, for the republican, racist homophobic slags who live here ! Read Less
Hastings Made Me Think Twice 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Now don't get me wrong, it isn't my fault that there isn't anything to do here. I know that living in Hastings means that you have to be ready to be great and all, but I clearly missed the memo on the fact that there isn't much to do after 10pm.

Living here makes me wonder abou ...Read More t where my life would have went if I had stayed at my parents. I have met many wonderful people here, and I continue to work my 9 to 5 like any other faithful citizen. I made a few new friends here, and few more friends there, now I have friends in Hastings everywhere.

I know that my mind tells me I need to get out more, but some days I'll go to the Wal Mart over on Hardware Drive to set up a few date nights. If I don't spend time walking through Wal-Mart, I will sit back and enjoy my wonderful home all by my lonesome, which is just fine. Read Less
