1 Reviews & Comments About Gillette
I've lived in Gillette since I was 11 years old. Over the past 14 years I have met some of the meanest, most ignorant, intolerable, and back stabbing people I've ever met. Nobody here cares for anyone else but themselves, they hardly take care of the snow in town like they should worst drivers I've ever seen, the m**h epidemic is absolutely outrageous, everyone I know is on it and cops don't do anything about dealers, the county 17 arrest page is full of arrests from traffic related incidents. The bullying in the schools, middle in particular, is the worst I've ever seen. There's a very clear line divided between the people who's parents work in coal or oil and have money and the ones who don't. The rich kids single out the poor or less well off kids, and torture and alienate them. Worst town I've ever lived in, 0/10
Literally has one movie theatre, one kids arcade, and about 15 bars and that's it for recreation pretty much. Unless you count the stagnant pond they call the fishing lake which has a playground.
