Pontiac

I was born and raised in Pontiac. It’s a nice place to live and visit relatives, but it’s not a travel destination. Many schools in the area as well as several colleges. The neighborhoods are rather diverse many whites, blacks, latinos, asians and of course “other”. It’s a rather small city, but everythings pretty convenient, it’s not one of those stock up on milk, bread and gas before 10pm, Meijers(Mega Mart) is open 24/7, several gas stations, Walgreens pharmacy, food joints, etc. The people can be a bit gruff but overall everyone is friendly just be sure to keep your head up. Considering the size of the city there’s a pretty good selection of night clubs(young, bump & grind types) and bars(chilled). And after the clubs hitting up Altadona’s, a family owned and run coney island type restaurant, after a long night of dancing is a must, but beware everybody knows this so you might wanna leave the club early to beat the crowd. It can get a little rowdy as the after clubber’s are typsy, still pumped from the clubs and hungry! But if you’re not easily intimidated it’s worth the wait and hassel.

If you are older than 18 and younger than 21 (drinking age) the downtown area boasts some of the claimed hottest nightlife spots in north Oakland County. If you are looking for something a bit more sophisticated it takes a little wandering around the downtown area and you’ll find a few spots worth visiting.

I’ve lived here for 4 years and don’t know why..

Awww come on no one wants to go to Pontiac? Yeah if you do go stay on the north side.

But I don’t have a definitive reason why.
