Please Read This For Your Own Good Before Visiting - 11/2/2009
I moved there about a year ago and if you look at the city without knowing anything about it, it looks beautiful and inviting. I never made the worst decision in my entire life. First off I am Autistic and tried to get into Community Mental Health (they denied me 4 times), no jobs were available. Through out the course of me being in this town I was carjacked at gunpoint once taken down to detroit and forced to give my car to this crackhead cause I would not buy/give him drugs or cooperate with his messed up plan. I had two cameras stolen from me out of the back of my car (that was before this incident) I had my 800 dollar computer stolen from my house cause I left the window unlocked, I had this crackhead he/she that I met while taking somone over to CMH steal my cell phone, playstation, about 200 dollars all because my supposed best friend trusted him, and then as a matter of respect (the way port huron works he later said) he said I could not grab my playstation and cell phone or

Dead End - 1/12/2008
I lived in Port Huron for about 3 years and it was the most depressing 3 years of my life. It appears 90% of the town was drunk and on welfare, and these people seem to think this is normal and everyone else is weird. Nightlife consists of all-nighters at the bowling alleys and fist-fights among men and cat-fights among women seem to be the sport of choice. And because everyone is bored out of their minds, I met plenty of people who did a lot of cheating on their significant others. People seem very unmotivated, and have no ambition. Forget about finding a good job here. Housing is cheap but good neighborhoods are very scarce. Nearby Marysville or St. Clair may be better choices for places to live if you were planning on moving to this area, unless you prefer this type of Jerry Springer-type

Professional Job Availability - 12/11/2007
With two main interstate systems passing through my area, and not to mention the second busiest Canadian/US boarder crossing in the country; there continues to be a lack of professional job in my area. Most of the population lacks formal education, while yet are very hard workers within their perspective occupations. I am new to the area and have to work for an employer in AL to provide for my family. I don't understand why the local government can't lure business to our area considering we have such great resources to offer. Heck maybe it's the public; they do complain alot about new development. Yet when action is taken they are teh first to complain about what type of industry is coming. Cake and eat it too! Just not how it

The truth about PH - 3/11/2007
I moved here about 7 years ago from a very small town in search of a new start... I can't really say it's that great, in the last few years alot of jobs have left this area and we are in desperate need of new business, many people are out of jobs and well economy is not that great anywhere in Michigan. As for the town it's just like most towns except you have the advantage of the water very near by, the north end of town is nicer, housing wise or port huron township area, but the south end is ghetto! I lived downtown when I first moved here and I will never ever live downtown again unless they do some major revamping, which they are cleaning up the downtown area alot but as for housing no way, most of the houses are old, big and I mean big houses, but they mostly have slum loards who have unfortunately turned then into apartments that are poorly taken care of it's too bad because the downtown area was probably beautiful a long time ago. I refuse to live in the downtown are... I
