Review of St. Marys, Pennsylvania


Actual Crime Rate not as stated
Star Rating - 7/16/2012
I live outside of St. Marys, Pa, and reading the crime rate they have posted on the sites, I can say they are not correct. There is a high drug abuse rate in this area, in the past month, at least three arsons, many burglaries.
To live here, if you are wealthy, have a high profile career, you will love it, if you are an average joe, you would be better off to stay out, as you will not make it anywhere and you will be considered very low class.

Your ignorance illustrates the reason this area is in decline. You said if you are wealthy and have a "high profile career" you will love it here. If this area was a haven for wealthy people with "high profile careers," it would be booming right now. You are probably an uneducated white trash redneck like the majority of the people here that have no understanding whatsoever of how a local economy operates and how wealth is generated throughout a community. If you are an "average joe" as Kristen says, you will love it here. You can buy a home for next to nothing and live a decent life. If you are wealthy, educated, and in search of a "high profile career," you will hate it because there is no culture, arts, or any other finer thing in life that attract these types of people that are actually productive and innovative on a level greater than simply tending the machinery in the local factories.
