Cincinnati is awsome Posted On: 6/29/2010 9:11:57 PM

Moved to Cincinatti from San Francsico when I was 14, I am 26. Cincinnati is easly, hands down, the BEST city in the nation. From the friendly people of the midwest, the homey atmosphere, and a taste of all seasons (even the beautiful colors of fall) Totally, kid friendly, great place to raise a family, lots activites for the whole family. GREAT fireworks display on labor day, festivals during the summer, and low the cost of living. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. And the fans for the Bengals and Reds are very loyal and it makes it so much, more fun, losing or wininng. WHO DEY! Can't beat 5 dollar Reds tickets...hey it might be nose bleed but it keeps the kiddies out of trouble!!

STAY AWAY FROM REDDING Posted On: 6/29/2010 9:01:24 PM

Ok, orignally moved to Hayward, California from Cincinnati, Ohio...MISTAKE #1. MISTAKE #2 deciding to move out of the city to have an easier life like the one I used to have in Cincinnati. Redding is beautiful but once you get to know it, its a nightmare. Meth heads ARE EVERYWHERE, the cops are lazy and dont want to help you ( i would know because I had the wonderful problem of dealing with a meth head/drunk/insane person threatening my life and constantly trying to fight my boyfriend). I called the police on three different occasions on this druggie and the cops solution? Move. Literally every person I happen to come in contact with was either homeless and on drugs, on welfare and on drugs, or just on drugs. I, personally was accused of being high on meth as well, which is almost comical, but at the same time is not. Because the town is crawling with meth heads everyone assumes you too are on meth. On top of the drug problem, the homeless problem, the crap job market and the rude people who just want to fight, you get the real feeling your in hell when you sit around and sweat in the summers in 115 degree heat. Believe me, its a real treat. I have been here 5 months and guess what Im getting the hell outta dodge....tomorrow as a matter a fact! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT MOVE TO REDDING!! Save yourself and your sanity and do not move to this hell on earth!
