Positive and Negative - 9/16/2013
There are some things about Mentor that are great, the schools are very good and the people (generally) friendly. The biggest issue I have had with the city is the police department. Unless you are calling about a kegger, a DUI, or a barking dog, I cannot figure out what they do. The residential street I live on is notorious for people speeding up and down it at up to 40 mph, people throughout the neighborhood have called many times about people speeding and the police don't seem to even pretend to be trying to fix things. The crime rate is low, a very positive thing, so it makes me wonder what are they doing if not responding to complaints like my neighborhoods? And when you deal with the officers face to face, the majority of them definitely profect a negative attitude. There are of course a few good ones, but I have had very few experiences were the police were at all

Ohio does seem to have an abundance of

Mentor - Great Place to Raise a Family - 3/4/2006
This city is a safe place to raise a family. The schools are "top notch", the neighborhoods are friendly and home prices are reasonable. My husband and I have lived in Mentor since 1970 and have seen many changes such as businesses and property development over the years. Most improvements were needed to provide activities for the growing community. There are still surrounding areas that have not yet been developed which gives it a somewhat rural atmosphere, but still having all the conveniences of a large city. We also have beautiful Lake Erie beach only a 10 minute drive away. The only drawback to living in this area is the weather. Although we are safe from hurricanes, the winters are quite long. However, when Spring finally arrives, the wait is well worth
