Nothing to do 1 rating By Legitimacy ( Mar 09, 2017) If you like boring cities, the Longview is the place to be.

We've lived here officially for 8 weeks, and my boyfriend's bike was stolen, two men came onto my porch as I was sitting in the living room, and someone egged our brand new car.

The food is less than good, with the "best restaurant in town" being mediocre at best. (Their smoked meats are not actually smoked, people!) Shopping includes Ulta, Target, and Ross.

We both tried to have an open mind about this place, but 8 weeks, and I'm over it. Read Less
