Question I have a question About Streator, IL

I am a Teenager who has grown up in Lockport IL, and Oak Lawn IL, and has alot of friends who live in streator and goto streator High school, I have heard from people that it is a so called "Prison Town" and its full of mephanphetamine addicts, and i want to know if theres any truth to this, because i want to move there, but i need solid information to do so. I hear that there is nothing around there, and living in Oak Lawn, with places everywhere, it might take some getting used to, I just want to know what people who live there have to say about this town, Even if i have about 30 Good Friends who goto high school there. I need some solid facts. Thank You very Much.

There was another thread about streator IL which was not favorable. Perhaps you can search for it on this forum.

Default Streator Rocks

Alot of my Slovak family lives there, my Mom grew up there in the 50s and I have alot of friends there. I love Streator.
But I will warn you, you wont find a job there. You will have to travel to Ottawa or Lasalle to work. I cant think of one place you can work there, other than the nominal fast food work.
HOuses are CHEAP only 30-50 thousand. Up to 100 in the nicest of houses. No more than that, unless they are insane and dont really want to sell.
I live in Ottawa. So, wont you be my neighbor?
