Review of Corning, New York

Not good at all
Star Rating - 5/19/2009
I have been in Corning for almost a year and I am counting the days until I can go home to Georgia! The people are rude and arrogant. The schools are way over protective. The price of food and gas are outrageous! Businesses are going under and instead of getting new businesses to come in they turn them into parking lots for Corning Incorporated engineers. Utilities are mind blowing! My natural gas bill every month this winter was no less than $300.00! For one month and my thermostat was no higher than 64 degrees! And on top of all this the area is doing away with attractions that bring tourists and revenue! eg: Corning Classic LPGA, etc... Cant afford it here, nothing to do here at any age, no wonder the governor is begging people to stay and not move out of state!

You're from Georgia. What do you expect? New York is filled with rude and arrogant people and the prices are much worse in other cities in NY. I'm looking to move here from Long Island. It'll be ten times cheaper. I was just down south earlier this week and the people there are so nice, nothing like a New Yorker.

I'm interested to know what qualifies as "nice". I live in Corning and often go for a walk to "have a think". I find it maddening the number of people who feel compelled too interrupt my thinking with a frivolous "Hello" and want to strike up a conversation. They stop while I'm waiting too cross the street giving no thought to the line of cars behind them when I don't need or want them to stop. When they stop I have to come out of my thinking to re-assess traffic. I already figured out when I was going to cross, but now I have to stop thinking to deal with this change. I'm not sure what you want from people in order to call them "nice".
