Be A Sport In McKeesport 2 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I know that living in McKeesport isn't a walk in the park, but history has told us that cities like London, Dubai, Paris, and New York haven't always been the best places in the world. I know that McKeesport won't be mentioned alongside any of these great cities anytime soon eith ...Read More er.

Although the city has it's perks, I wouldn't do it justice if I didn't mention its faults. For one the crime rate is still unbelievably high, and I'm beginning to wonder if the police can do anything about it. Let alone the high prices, and low paying jobs that are available here.

The north has began to lose its luster, and although this is a historic old town, it just can't compete with the likes of more modern, loving places to live. I know I spend a more time in Glassport than I do McKeesport. If you care to take a visit, then please be my guest. Otherwise, keeping it moving might not be that bad of an option. Read Less
