Ripley is a very nice town. Has a great park. Ripley has an excellent Fitness Center. Olympic Steakhouse is a good restaurant on Hwy 51. In 2017, I moved back to Tennessee and chose to live in Ripley. I was born at Fulton, Tennessee. I left Fulton when I was 5 years old and came back 65 years later.
Ripley, TN is a very small town in Lauderdale County. But we are the county seat. I like living here because it has some beautiful scenery. I would like to see the schools implement a few changes including helping the children more often when they are struggling instead of just passing them along. Even though the schools say they adhere to the No Child Left Behind Law, they do not. They simply hand the kids the answers and allow them to receive a passing grade for work they did not do. I would also like to see a few more activities for families being put into place. We do not have a theater, bowling alley or any sort of recreational activities for families or children. Therefore, the parents just allow their children to walk around the streets of Ripley getting into all sorts of predicaments. I would encourage Ripley residents to start thinking community-wide instead of only about their own homes. A loving community is a strong community and these children need support.
Ripley is a small town in Tennessee that has many historical landmarks as well as historical buildings. Although there are not many things to pass the time, there are many friendly people throughout the town.
