Its getting more dangerous each year 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 13, 2019) There has been an increase of robberies and gang affiliated crime also if you are looking for a job look elsewhere people are exploited by their job and nobody is doing nothing about it poverty has increased and there are a lot of corrupt policeman on duty if you come to downtown ...Read More it will be certain that you will see a cop getting paid to not do their job and some do drugs.In one month we had 12 murders and 25 robberies our community knows about it but are to scared to take action since there are also corruption in the city center and people who tried got arrested and put false charges against them.Recently there has been a school shooter and nobody was prepared for it in the schools of passaic teachers are underpaid and not capable of teaching most of the students who graduate are not ready for college and most of the students drop out of highschool.

Passaic, NJ - Avoid at all cost 2 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 05, 2010) Not only is there nothing to do in this lousy city, but the people are mean and shady. I had the displeasure of going to Passaic on a business trip and there is absolutely nothing worthwhile in the whole city. It is just a bland, boring city.

Seriously, the only thing in Passaic ...Read More was its old theater. The Montauk Theatre was built in 1924, and unless you are a classic movie buff (which I am not) then you won't enjoy anything about it. I stayed in the Passaic Hotel, a no star hotel with budget rooms and horrible service. I seriously saw a rat in my room! The food was decent, about the same as what you would could get at home.

This is by far the worst city I have visited. I know I was there on business, but they could have at least tried to put in some attractions. This city has put no effort in to making Passaic a tourist attraction, and it really shows how much theu care for their guests. The only real 'attraction' I saw was the Rack N Roll Family Fun Center, and unless you are there with a family why would you bother? Read Less
