Boring dumpy low life infested town

Crescent City sucks. Too boring, nothing to do, people are rude, lots of drugs, crime, and lowlifes. Food sucks. No good restaurants. Have to drive to Brookings or Arcata if you want anything even remotely decent. Rains and storms too much 9 months of the year. Closest place to do anything is Medford and Grants Pass. Well OK. There is quite a few good hiking , camping, and swimming spots during the few days the weather is nice. The countryside is definitely beautiful. However hiking and camping eventually get old when there's nothing else to do besides that and most days the weather is too crappy for that. Only reason I'm giving this hellhole 2 stars is because of the beautiful countryside and that when the weather is nice there is quite a few good outdoor activities that will make your first summer here somewhat bearable. If it weren't for those things I would give this dump 0 stars if at all possible.
Be prepared for tons of severe thunderstorms with hurricane force winds, torrential downpour and yes even lots of hail from October-May . I'd stongly recommend Newport up in Oregon or Tahoe. Both are very beautiful and have a lot more to do than this dump and not as dumpy, and infested with drugs, lowlives, and crime. Then again most places are better than this dump. Sure there are lots of places in the deserts of Southern California like Barstow, Blythe, Bakersfield, and New Mexico, Utah, and much of Nevada that would make Crescent City seem like paradise but that still doesn't make Crescent City a nice or even OK place by any stretch of the imagination.
