Review of Lehighton, Pennsylvania


Great place if you like tattoos and drugs
Star Rating - 9/6/2012
I have lived here since 1986 due to a job transfer and have hated it the whole time. Lots of people on drugs sporting tattoos and dragging 2-3 kids around - but unemployed. A hillbilly mentality, I don't think most of the people here have ever been out of Carbon County. Half the town is shuttered, you can't get a good meal in any restaurant and nothing to do unless you like fishing or hunting. Allentown is 1/2 hour away, but you better pack a gun when you go down there, so that leaves little reason to move or stay here. I'm out of here if I ever sell my house.
