Review of Grants Pass, Oregon

"It's the Racism"
Star Rating - 8/17/2020
I give Grants Pass 3 stars for her natural Beauty. The trees, Rivers, and Mountains. If it werent for the beauty of the outdoors I would have left long ago. Now that I am retired, I am actively looking for a place to live that is less judgmental & racist. I want to belong in a community of people that respect others, regardless of age, race, lifestyle, language, ability etc. If you look at the history of racism in Grants Pass BEFORE you move here, you will see that underneath her natural beauty is a deep seated darkness that goes far beyond comprehension. Sadly, I will bid her adieu! #SundownTown Less than 1% of population is a POC because they run everybody else out. #StopH8

This review is clearly racist against white people. I have lived here almost 15 years and have yet to meet anyone I would consider a racist. Noel should have to explain his comment against this great city people and community. Deep seated darkness? Your watching way too many movies. He's got the wrong city.

Hey Bob, do your research. While Grants Pass has largely moved on from its racist past, it is true that it was a sundown town during the 1940s.

I love my hometown, but we still have a long ways to go

I’m wondering where you’ve decided to go. I also love the beauty of Grants Pass but would love to find a more respectful, less racist community.

Grants Pass is a girl? I stayed there this July, in the countryside, and it was really beautiful
