I moved here sight unseen, and in 4 years it has blown me away in the poorest way.
Overcrowded, poor infrastructure, dirty littered streets, fields that are not mowed, trees not trimmed, and the drug issue here is so obvious. An influence of either being on dope or alcohol. I've seen it and reported it. Stolen cars and tons of people just hanging where they don't belong. I've called the Sheriff numerous times and they are disinterested, cocky, and usually late on response.
Lockport is a place you either love or hate. I hate it. Simply hate it.

I have grown up in Lockport for most of my life after having moved here at the age of five. In some ways, Lockport is a nice, quiet suburban town. It's mostly residential and school areas. That being said, there's not much to do in the town itself and it is often necessary to travel outside of Lockport to do anything exciting. For the most part, I see it as a typical Midwest suburban town.
Lockport is known to be the safest town of the suburbs! It has historical feels as it has kept landmarks that have made Illinois what we are today. There are many family food places, and is a quiet small town!
