Review of Saginaw, Michigan


Spent My Life in Saginaw Area
Star Rating - 12/9/2006
I'm 31 and I've lived in/around Saginaw my entire life. It's issues start with corrution, all the way to massive homicide and shootings rates. With the disipation of GM and other large companies in the area, gainful employment is nearly impossible. There are a few entertainment venues which are really nice, but without gainful employment, it'll be tough to enjoy those. The City of Saginaw is the worst area to be in - high crime, dangerous streets, corrupt police, bickering politicians, etc. Saginaw Township, Thomas Township and areas surrounding the City of Saginaw, are better. In Saginaw County, there are more desirable places to live, if you enjoy the peace and quiet of the country life. However, in the poorer parts of the county are massive drug problems, (Chesaning, St.Charles, Marion). The one great thing about the Saginaw area schools, is there are a number of Charter Schools now, and enrollment is free, at most. Although these schools are rather fast-paced. With this years erruption of violence in the City of Saginaw, many of the people living there are flocking to other neighboring cities, (Midland, Bay City, Thomas Twp., Saginaw Twp.).
