Please think twice 1 rating By Lynny ( Aug 22, 2017) Not a place to raise children. Other than government jobs, mainly factory/warehouse jobs, you will not earn wages that could support a single person's rent. Rent is way overpriced. Home construction is not updated with new styles and tons of track building. Not uncommon to find ...Read More a person at work in the bathroom or public area that has OD. This city is Infested with drugs, prostitution and corrupt police. 98% of nightlife is strip clubs. Crime is high here. Hospital is good only for minor ailments. Used IV needles found in parks, streets, and grass is not uncommon. Not a health conscience community, is without walking trails, bike trails, and no area but a gym to get exercise. Shopping is mainly discount stores. Trash does not get picked up along main routes and interstates. Library has a very small selection of reading material. Pharmacy pick up is usually a minimum of a half hour wait, most likely bc of the prescription pills abuse. This use to be a nice, well kept town but has been on a spiral decline for at least three decades. Think twice before moving here, it's honestly not worth all the headaches that come with the beautiful mountains. Read Less
