Review of Quincy, Illinois


Nice Place to Live
Star Rating - 6/4/2009
I think Quincy is a nice place to live. I grew up there, left for 10 years and came back. There are a lot of parks and recreational family activities. There is also some beautiful architecture, and the shopping and dining are pretty good, too. It is an easy drive to Springfield, St. Louis, Chicago and Indianapolis. We also have Amtrak service twice a day direct to Chicago.

To Clint, I used to work near Barry. and have relatives there, we used to sit in Barry and watch the paint dry. it's all about how you look at it, I have lived in a few locations like near St Louis MO and it's a rough place. compared to Quincy. Clint why don't you go for a walk downtown: your choice Chicago or Quincy. Quincy has plenty to do it just takes a little imagination. maybe you could come to Quincy and as a hobby clean the sidewalks you describe as having lit cigarettes on them. when I see trash I pick it up, and have respect for my town, or any town I'm in. Join a church ,get in a bible study. You'll learn things you didn't even think about. Life is what you make it. So make it a good one.
