Review of Pikeville, Kentucky


It's allright
Star Rating - 9/28/2008
Not much to do in the area, there has been alot of prescription drug abuse, but not alot of major crimes as one user said, I do enjoy the area, people are friendly, the view is beautiful, and you get solitude. But if you're looking for a place with alot of action, this isn't the place, it stay pretty much quite around here, but like I said, the people are friendly, and the families are close, the school district is horriable, and there is alot of corruption in the local businesses, so it is hard to get a decent job around here, because everyone is hiring a relative or a friend. If you aren't in the mining career, don't expect a job, unless you know people.
