I haven't heard great things about it, but seeing the pics, it doesn't look that bad at all. I don't see why people in upstate NY get all bent about board-ups. Thats how things are all over upstate. Thats just how it is. Unless you are living in some wealthy tourist town like Saratoga Springs or some suburb (and you get board ups even in the nicer burb in NY) this is what Upstate NY cities look like.

The pictures only show one small area of Jamestown, there are many areas that are very ugly, rundown and disgusting!!!

I have a couple friends who both have kids who are addicted to drugs, and they live in Warren. I also have some realatives who are dealing with drug problems, they live in Warren.
To be honest I am OLD, and growing up in Warren in the 70's, I did drugs...so no matter where you live, there is a drug problem.
