What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Pottstown

I love that the house I live in is almost 100 years old and the houses near by are older. It gives it more character. We are close to a lot of great shopping centers too.

Unique little stores. Everything close but not busy. Don't know what else to say. Keep making me type more and more hgfb gfvvvv gghh hhhd gghh

People are standoffish, My neighbors are white trash and ignorant, Their animals are loud and obnoxiousm my neighbor is a drunk. My neighbors kids are criminals

Safe and always remember the blessings. of the lord and everything else in our lives is a blessed . I should have said to them that I was really busy and I didn't saw them so I didn't said hi.

I like going to the corner store and playing the video machine. There are lots of Jamaican food in the neighborhood which is great for a change in taste

I've lived there for 60 years, many have longer than that. My favorite pizza place Parma is right down the street. I take many of my friends there.
