I have lived in Crescent City for 55 years, raised my family and have a good business and still love it here, and I know many who would also love to live here. Yes there is a Prison but you don't see it or even hear about it and it gives jobs that were needed when logging was stopped. I came from the Sacramento HOT Valley and lots of growth and Traffic, Never would live there again.
Agree. Dropped by for a visit recently & yes though there maybe issues, no different from other cities. It has potential for better things. I find more so issue getting in & out through basically one highway...101. No direct Greyhound bus or Amtrak train available sadly.
Hi, I know this is random and a bit of a strange request, but I am a writer, and I'm considering setting a young adult novel in Crescent City. I've never been there or even to California, and it'll be a while before I can visit. I would absolutely love to talk to some of the locals or anyone who has seen the place in person in order to get a more authentic idea of CC than Google can provide. If any of you wouldn't mind talking to me, please reply, and I'll give you an email address. I'd be happy to compensate with a little coffee money and acknowledgment in the book should it ever be published.
From 101 about 5 miles south on early morning or before sunset.with a fog .you can see the city.And the Crescent.its was very beautiful.i hope it still is.in my mind with my wife and our two (3ys-16 mo) CHILDERN. With me it always will be.
Ashley Helms I'd probably get harassed the most because all my kids look entirely different, especially in the summer, even though they have the same parents.
They run this town it is corrupt from the Crescent City Harbor all the way to the cops. They are not that hard to recognize once you know what too look for. Earlene Burley is one. Northwoods Realty.
I lived there all through my school years and believe me it is NOT pretty or what it was from any view....I go there all of the time and HATE what it has become from trees to prison to people...They got what they asked for.....
I grew up here and loved it so much until the prison decided or the people decided to bring it here....BIG time prison Pelican Bay......Look it up It is not nice.....
One can visit Crescent City and never see any evidence of the prison. It's several miles north of the town proper; one can just barely glimpse it through the trees while driving on 101. Yes, a prison is a not-nice place, but this one does not detract from the natural beauty of the area.
Yes, there is about a half-mile of Lake Earl Drive where the prison is exposed to view. It's a rather ugly collection of buildings, made uglier by its purpose and function. But it is a tiny blotch upon an otherwise beautiful place.

I’ve flown into Crescent City at night. The city is beautiful with its street and porch lights.
Beautiful song and pics.
Small town with Dark Secrets

Beautiful place to visit

Private jet is the way to see it.....
Beautifully edited video. I love the piano solo and wish I could find it on line to purchase it. Do you know the composers name? In English.
Were you there during 40's and 50's?
parents 40's me 50's and until I got married
I live here . moved with my mom 2 years ago . I hate it . it's to small ,no where to shop ,people are racist .
Love it, reminds me of Encinitas 40 years ago.
Ashley Helms I'd probably get harassed the most because all my kids look entirely different, especially in the summer, even though they have the same parents.
I feel for you I have been back in this stinking town since 2004. Within the last 3 years I found out this stinking town is run by the K K K.
Yes I can I have done a lot of research on Wikipedia and found out a lot. The Klan has been here since 1934.
They run this town it is corrupt from the Crescent City Harbor all the way to the cops. They are not that hard to recognize once you know what too look for. Earlene Burley is one. Northwoods Realty.
Je viendrais visiter cette ville before I die.
"I'd (like to) visit this town" before I die.
Where else on the coast can you pick up a fixer upper for a 100k less than a block from the beach?
There are couple house for sale around 2 block form the beach. 100k Or you can buy one 3bed 2bath with $150K
I got a fixer upper a hundred yards from the beach but put 25k into it so far, bitchen tho, I can hear the surf and the seals at night.
Can you buy 12,000 acres for 55 million dollars here?
They do not like WalMart?
I lived there all through my school years and believe me it is NOT pretty or what it was from any view....I go there all of the time and HATE what it has become from trees to prison to people...They got what they asked for.....
Barbara Sawyer what do you mean about the trees?
Joe Green thanks for the info. The comments seem quite odd to be honest but you have shed light on it. thank you!
tsunami warning.
Ok I'll say it, LOTS OF METH AND WEED
Whole PNW
I grew up here and loved it so much until the prison decided or the people decided to bring it here....BIG time prison Pelican Bay......Look it up It is not nice.....
+Nicholas Maietta interesting. Why was there a protest for bringing in Walmart?
CC is not what it used to be for sure......I love the coast line and Smith River and lived very near redwoods and the Smith river....
