Ellenville is shaky. I find Ellenville to be full of recovering addicts of some sort. Most people in the area will not be truthful because they want to make it seem as if it's a good area. The drugs of past are not far gone. The area prisons make it easy to keep around considering they stay in the area once the leave prison and their families relocate there to be close to the incacerated family.

"FULL" of recovering addicts? I doubt the number comes to more than 1 or 2%, if even that, which is hardly "full." Where do you get your claim from? "MOST" people will not be truthful? Again, what is the basis for this canard? Are you just repeating rumors and myths and bigoted assumptions? Seems like it.

My wife is a former teacher here and the elementary and middle school has always had a stellar reputation for quality. In real numbers, crime is low, particularly violent crime; Ellenville is far more a Mayberry than a Baghdad!

. Ellenville is not full of drug addicts! Ellenville is not the best town in the world, but I find it to be safe and a great place to raise children. It is a small country town, that still has the tiny bit of city excitement. Beautifull mountain views, and great school system. I know the school is great because my sister in law failed in many other school, and now she is to graduate this year. I honestly use to think ellenville was digusting by all the RUMORS that I heard. That was until I met my boyfriend and moved in with him. I came to love Ellenville and all the surrounding towns near it. Overall it is quiet, fun & sae for children.

Kryo AKA Krulick. In constant consumption of Ellenville. You call everyone who responds to a question a bigot. You repeat the same statements over and over again. Mayberry/Baghdad, Strawslinger/name caller/Slinger, racist/bigot.. Stop calling names when you don't like to receive the name calling back.

What is with these Smellenville threads ? It's loaded with ex cons recently released from nearby pens near Kerhonkson and Woodbourne. As is the case with Liberty and Montighetto. The armpit of the Catskill Region. You have to drive over a 2000 foot mountain or drive to Wartsboro, I mean Wurtsboro to climb over a more gradual grade to get to any real shopping in Middletown.
