Moving from East Coast to work in Appleton. Not sure where to live, Appleton or Oshkosh?

No reason to re-post the same thing 3 times, once is enough.

But when living in appleton after just 1 year my house was robbed 4 times, my car was stolen out of my drive way, i was robbed at gun point while walking down the street in the middle of the day, in my ****ty dirty old neiborhood in appleton it seemed like every week the gas station just up the street from my house was robbed. And there were shootings at least once a week in that neighborhood. Then when i thought that it couldnt git any worse in my neiborhood at the gas station a couple blocks in the other direction there was a gang shooting in the parking lot that lead to a double murder. Any body who says that oshkosh or green bay are worse than appleton have no idea what there talking about, and they obeously havent been to where ive been. There may be alot more things to do and places to go in appleton but its sertently not worth living where ive lived in appleton.

Northern Wisconsin is among the safest regions in the entire United States. Appleton usually averages about one murder a year, while the surrounding cities like Little Chute and Menasha can go decades without a homicide. Perhaps you just associate with a particularly scummy group of individuals?

LOL, your chances of death from being bored to death are greater than being murdered in Appleton!
