Mondo Lizzie Borden

I found a question posted on a site called Officer.com from a man who was thinking of relocating to the east coast and wondered about living in Fall River. The responses he got from contributors on the site’s forum was surprising to say the least.

Officer.com seems to be a catch all site for law enforcement people that need info on news, agencies, products, jobs, events, and matters relating to such careers. Their forum area is quite active and very interesting to read.

So what was so surprising? This:

Living in Fall River?

My wife and I are thinking about moving to New England. Would like to live in RI, but Mass looks a little cheaper. Is this correct? What about Fall River. I am not familiar with the neighborhoods, but I see North Side, South Side, Highlands, St. Anne, etc. What’s good and what’s bad? Thanks.

I second the ghetto comment. You should look outside of Fall River

I like Fall River. A lot. It is very close to the ocean. The weather is rather mild. The city is located nearby several great cities (NY and Boston). The rental prices of apartments are slightly lower than Orlando, FL, my home state. There is a TON of history here, and not just Lizzie Borden stuff.

Now I am sure there are lots of reasons not to like it here, but that can be said of anyplace. A ghetto? I don’t think so. Not by a long shot.
