Review of Abingdon, Virginia


Looking to move somewhere else...
Star Rating - 12/17/2013
We came to the area a few years ago and fell in love with the quaint, historic qualities of the town. However, once we moved here we came to find out rather quickly that the town loves tourists, and for people to spend money. But if you want a job here you'd better have a recognizable family name or a big bank account. Have spoken with quite a few people who have lived here all their lives who tell me it's all about old money and blood. We have sent Resumes for jobs here that we are OVERQUALIFIED for, and have either received form letters stating they found someone with " more experience" or can't even get a response from someone. I was even told by 2 employers that I didn't have a Southern enough accent for them to hire me! Common courtesy iOS lacking. Taxes are out of control and houses suck for the prices. Was told if your kids are in school here and you don't have money, the kids won't be playing sports. Never thought I'd say it, but I can't wait for the chance to find somewhere else.
