This town is absolutely gorgeous. Great scenery, biking trails, hiking trails, lakes, and many other sightings. Although there are many people unemployed and doing drugs in town and many drug bust happening all the time. The PD absolutely s***s and works on the most useless things that they can and take forever to get where they need to be. The school system is horrible and has barely any funding to the point where 6-8th grade needs so come into our high school and teachers need to move from classroom to classroom by week with a rolling cart as there aren't enough rooms. Berlin has alot of potential but there's not enough job opportunities and too many people using welfare and foodstamps.

A few of my favorite places are the four wheeling trails, the lakes, our "outdated" restaurants that add some class and a vintage feel that I love. It has it flaws but it's really not as bad as it's cracked up to be.

ok I agree I live in berlin and I've lived here since the day I was born there is murder, drugs, weed, overdose, teen pregnant, and I'm 13.

I know someone's gonna say your to young to understand, but because I live here and have self raised myself with a druggie mom and no dad on the planet I can say I know enough and probably more than you.

I personally cant find a full neighbor hood where there's not either a pedo, pregnant teen, druggie, stoner r****t yeah so just saying berlin deserves the worst.
