If you want an accurate depiction of Front Royal try asking the locals.

The first time I ever smoked weed was in the caboose on Main St.Lol. Lived there in the late 90's.All kinds of abandoned factory,railroad bridges,and a rock quarry. There was not much for young people to do there. Not sure much has changed.

[@rinrust2510]

I lived there when I was little (5-13) before my family moved around 2008 ish. I remember that town being run into the ground by drugs (meth mostly) and gang issues. Even the legal authorities were bought out. I hope this place recovered from that crap because without it, was a nice little town.

Me living here 😭, I've cheated on my husband with every friend he's ever met and all my regular customers and employees at Speedway. The married one's are the best.

@@Nonameforyoudangit What are you talking/ going on about? Have you been to Front Royal town? By general lack of concern about/of covid; do you mean that the people there are anti-vax/anto-masks? Oh man I was thinking about coming to this town to study at their local college called Christendom College. Haven't had a chance to visit yet. Oh man I am worried.

[@Dave-gd1mw]

@@happymonkey9416 Christendom is a completely different environment from the town.

[@happymonkey9416]

@@Dave-gd1mw oh really? I haven't had the chance to visit yet. I hope so. I've heard that there are some homeless and drug problems in the town. I want to stay away from that. Other than that I really want to attend college.

For food I'll plug L'Dees pancake house further down on main they serve some amazing lunch though too I'd reccomend their meatloaf sandwich personally

[@CrystalTwinStar]

Why didn't you interview front royal natives? That's where you're going to get the true feel of the local culture...not from what they tell you but rather how they present themselves.

[@sophial9379]

Cute little town!

[@candidcamper3533]

It's very quaint and the people are very nice!

[@rudysroots2789]

Nobody mentioned the melting pot?!

If you would actually find someone that’s from here you would get a better idea.

I live here and this is an absolute awful place to live

[@happymonkey9416]

Awe man really? Is it really awful at Front Royal? I was thinking of applying and studying at Christendom college which is located in Front Royal.

[@dognoodle87]

@@happymonkey9416 I wouldn't advise anyone to come here and live. Everything I have said in my post is true. now in maybe another ten to fifteen years this might become an ok place to live. I know that the new sheriff seems to be fixing some things but it's gonna take a while. You might want to check out a couple neighboring towns such as Strasburg, Stephens city or Winchester which all are about ten to twenty mins from front royal. Winchester is a whole lot bigger with plenty of stuff to do. Strasburg is a quiet Little country Town and Stephens city is a small town to but not a quiet country Town like Strasburg.

[@happymonkey9416]

@@dognoodle87 thank you for replying to my comment. I appreciate it. That's a shame. I'm from the big apple. I've only heard good things about the town. Of course my sources could be biased as most of the information I have about front royal is from Christendom College. Going there for a 3 year college degree will be costing me 40,000 dollars a year! It's quite expensive. So I am really trying to find out more about the place and I have not found out a lot on it.

[@dillonlewallen7086]

@@happymonkey9416 I think it's a great place to live, I just recommend you stick more to the the warren County side when it comes to living in FR.
