2 Reviews & Comments About Holyoke
At one time holyoke had more billionaires per capita out of the entire united states.
Now it has the best h****n dealers and best h****n prices in the nation. Ok now on a serious note ive been in all these citys i live in chicopee and at a low time in my life was homeless living in holyoke and springfield with a massive drug problem.
Ive been shot ive been stabbed and ive been in the worst of what these citys have. Im proud i rebuilt my life 6 years sober.
Own my own buisness and have a wonderful family. But everyday is a grim reminder when i bounce from holyoke springfield each day for jobs.
Thank goodness i live in chicopee.
Years ago Holyoke was bad, but tor the past 10 years the ghetto n the crime has extremely decreased!! Last 2 years there were no deaths on crime at all and this year 2 and the ones that did the crime were already caught.
