I used to live here. Not only is it very dangerous, it is dirty and filled with slums. The only thing this place has to offer is the curve. However, if your looking for affordability, it is that.

Hmmm...Altoona. A has been type of town, that is in need of some serious urban renewal. Most of the city is covered in slums, which is a shame since there are some unique structures. The drug problem for such a small city seems to be extreme.

For pluses, it is cheap, and the people are very friendly. The city is trying to change itself, with ...

the other reviews "seem" contrived to advertise. definatly come check out the small city, it needs your contributions, it has some history, although short lived. some beautiful buildings, historical railroad, and lots of bars and churches. as for the natives, they are a mixed bag some nice some not so.

This city is terrible. The economy is terrible and their is nothing to do. Will definately avoid this city next time im traveling thru PA. The whole city has a depressing feel and atmosphere. I would high recommend not visiting this city.
