Review of Newark, Ohio


Born n raised near by
Star Rating - 3/10/2008
The reviews I've read above are from people being nice about the area. I've been trying to run from the place since i was a child. Never fitted into the scene of old drunks riding bicycles. It is rare to find people who have a licence, it has the highest Dui rate in the state, several times more dui arrests than neighboring columbus that is 30 times its size. I heard growing up that they called it little chicago, they said it was because they used to hang people from trees at the courthouse lawn. Its dark n gloomy and ugly here even on sunny days. I can't probably descibe the town in its true light or my review would be rejected for your review. Worst place i've ever been. Go on vacation leave on probation.

I grew up in Newark. I left when I went off to college and then spent the next 20 years working and living around the country. When I was in my 40s due to a happy job change circumstance I moved back to newark. I will admit it is a fairly quiet little town for the most part it is a nice place to live.
