Pontiac Reviews
Rating 3.52 out of 5 29 reviews
Me as a teenager, Pontiac is very boring. There is nothing here that is fun for youth. Young children, and other ages. War museums and restaurants and sights to see is okay, but not for Teenagers very much. Some like that stuff but, others do not, and get in trouble and sneak out of the house because of no activities to do in Pontiac, IL.
Pontiac is a close-knit community that is more enjoyable to be in than other small communities I have been to. The people are generally friendly and very helpful. The businesses and museums downtown make the town interesting and tourist oriented.
Moving from a large city of 30,000 people to a small town of less then 8 thousand really opened my eyes. This town is extremely welcoming to POC and is a great place to grow and develop.
