Small town with big problems...
-
9/8/2006
I've lived here for 28 years, and overall it has been an ok place to live...But here in the last 5 to 10 years or so, prescription drug abuse has taken over..And of course following the overwhelming drug problem comes a significant increase in crime and violence. When you hear "small town" you automatically think of nice friendly people, well don't let this small town fool you, from my experience here, I'm guessing around 10% of the population do live up to the small town stereotype..I didn't realize how bad this town is until I was fortunate enough to have almost a year away from it..I'm here now because of family issues, but as soon as I can i'll be out of here...So, if quality of life is not an important issue to you, and you do enjoy drug abuse and crime, this is the place for you..If not, I urge you to stay away from Pikeville, Kentucky..
