City of Crescent City California Featured on Today in America TV with Host Terry Bradshaw

[@kennyj1958]

We have been driving to, and through Crescent City from Canada for over three decades, and as far as I am concerned it is my favourite California town. The hiking, seafood and friendly people make it a great place for us. There are a few affordable hotels and the camping is excellent. Drugs? Homelessness? Show me a California town of a similar size that doesn't have these problems. I love Crescent City and hope to return some time soon.

[@josiespringfield4808]

You have got to be kidding me.

[@a_hamburger2957]

wut? he makes amazing points

[@MrPabloingles]

I have been there twice and recently last month July 22-24 2018. It is a very nice restful city with the best sunset views in Crescent City and especially Tolowa State Park. Rumiano cheese came from the Alexandre Farm near Tolowa State Park.

I'm missing the beauty, the silence, the darkness at night, and the slower pace of small town living in Crescent City. You can go live other places and get better entertainment options, more medical facilities, more crime, more noise, etc. But you won't find a more beautiful area anywhere.

[@HunterMayer]

Having grown up around there I can say there are so many great places (and nice folk) there and nearby to experience.

[@deborahriley1166]

It’s actually a hidden gem! There are so many beautiful places to put off and park and enjoy the ocean views. Great walking on many beaches. Whale spouts often seen offshore 🥰🙏☯️

[@johnnymccraze]

In the novella I'm writing, it starts out in Crescent City. Not that anyone outside of crescent would care, but i just thought it looked like a great place to begin a book :)

[@a_hamburger2957]

huh coolio

It is Beautiful ...Write your Book 😃

[@redsoxclover11]

I’ve been to almost every state in this country. I’ve lived on the east coast , west coast and in between. Nothing is more beautiful than Northern California and the Oregon coast. Unfortunately the coastal cities are poorly run. Instead of taking advantage of the scenery like a lot of east coast towns , they are living in the past. No jobs besides minimum wage , a lot of drug problems which of course are everywhere but because of the climate year round the homeless populations are through the roof which puts the drug problems in focus year round. As long as you have a job and a plan you’ll be alright . A lot of the companies at interviews literally tell you “ if you can pee clean you’re almost guaranteed a job” because most people here can’t. Sad situation.

[@celiyevs9524]

I LIVE THERE TEHE IT A VERY RELAXING PLACE WITH BEAUTIFUL REDWOOD TREES.!

[@AliAhmed-dh4pl]

Everyone sounds as if they’re being held hostage and are forced to read a ransom note.

[@davidazinger5639]

that's funny. did not notice that;

[@marisa-the-alchemystic]

I noticed that!

[@nestfullofbirds]

I'm from Brookings, OR which is just north of Crescent City. I have lived here for 31 years and I can attest that inside the city limits of Brookings is FAR safer. However, I am really shocked that Terry Bradshaw didn't look into the charities that help the homeless in Crescent City. They are game changers, and should be looked at on a national level to inspire others to change and to show the proper way to begin a homeless shelter in your home town. At their homeless shelter, they give man a fish to eat while they teach him to fish for life, thus changing attitudes, hearts, and growing minds.

[@terrigruden6735]

cc is way safer

[@nestfullofbirds]

Only if you're a tweaker! I wouldn't step foot in CC after dusk.

[@MrPabloingles]

I just visit Brookings OR. It is also very nice and has a wonderful beach Harris Beach State Park with great views and excellent swimming beach. Dont forget the Chetco Museum as well.

[@mitchrosenberry3613]

I think it takes a special breed of people to live in an area that God has touched, most of it pristine,and humanity hasn't ravaged.

[@killedfromafar]

I stayed in CC 10 months last year for work. I've been traveling for many years and feel that I am fair and accurate when describing particular areas. First of all, I come from an area with all 4 seasons, so it was a little difficult accepting a place that only has 1 for the most part. The temp ranges from mid 40s to low 60s all year long. It's on the coast so it's naturally windy at all times. The rain is constant most of the year as well. Basically I'm saying to invest in hoodies!! .....

[@WHEREVA]

I grew up in Crescent City from 90s to 2002. I have lived all over the United States these past 21 years. The only thing that gives me a more nostalgic feeling for Del Norte county other than the smell of Pine or redwood trees is cloudy over cast weather with drizzle or light rain coming down sideways.😃

[@neckarsulme]

This must be a different Crescent City than the one I visited yesterday, the one I went to was like a ghost town, with just a bunch of cheap motels and closed store fronts.

[@bearsuc8331]

neckarsulme Thats pretty much it.

[@DarrenEvansZozologist]

I lived in Crescent City and it's the most beautiful area of the United States. Ground zero is where the redwoods crash into the pacific, driftwood paradise! The Smith River is without a doubt some of the rawest and most treacherous rapids I've ever witnessed. The rumors are true about the meth problem, my buddy and I were the only people I seen with teeth! The locals are UP 24-7, and even the local taxi driver was a meth head who picked mushrooms that bloom once a year on one specific day. There were only a few bars in town, and lots of single hoes because Pelican Bay prison is close, and San Quentin prison so its a mix of druggie's and criminals.

[@raymondthompson7899]

I notice they did not mention Pelian Bay State Prison!! That is the city where it's located right??

[@randydepee8595]

Pelican bay prison is not out of the way it sits on hwy 101

[@MrPabloingles]

I would also add IF you like a town with NOT very much going on to live or retire Crescent City is one option. There may be not much employment or activity. If you like quiet small towns near the Ocean Crescent City would be the place.

[@cmhlayne]

This is where my granddaughter, Caitlin Schafer, lives.

[@Me97202]

I lived in crescent city. It’s an okay little town, but the weather is terrible...especially in the summer. It’s grey and 59° every day.

[@killedfromafar]

Don't get me wrong; I met alot of really cool people there. But these were the working class people. I also "met" many of the non-working class, and they are why that town is a virtual toilet. Ol' Terry Bradshaw failed to mention the terrible meth problem plaguing the city. Now for a nature lover, the area is magnificent. You can whale watch every day of the year there, walk the beaches, hike through the neverending trails, or take boat tours on many of the surrounding rivers....

[@FernandezCycles]

The only thing recreational in Crescent City is the drug use. No jobs, no entertainment, and shopping?! Better plan on driving 2 hours to find any seemingly worthwhile stores. This video is horse shit. I was born there and I'd never live there again. The surfing is good though, haha!

[@a_hamburger2957]

parks, movie theater, super walmart, airport, trees of mystery, ocean world(pet sharks) referenced on extremely popular shows like gravity falls, meth shops(cough what?)

[@xxx4xxxxx]

Honestly, more like 4-6 hours for any worthwhile stores. When I lived there for a short time, it blew my mind how many people would drive 2+ hours to go to a fucking Target or Costco.

[@annekole4304]

Beautiful Place. Great segment.

[@kindguy4106]

I was a great time without covid without bullshit

[@liamreilley8433]

As a local resident I can confirm, it was a lie when it was created, it's still a lie today. Visit only. Please don't stay. It's in your best interest to not move here.

[@ufofactorfiction1565]

There is not 28,000 people here in Crescent City California... There is close to 10,000 including the inmates at Pelican Bay Prison...

[@cindyveerkamp8469]

I know it was hard to continue listening after hearingnthat misrepresented fact ,,lol

[@1rednecker]

Reasonable utility rates? Yea right! I have been here in Crescent shitty......er...I meant Crescent City, Ca for 3 years now and it SUCKS ASS!!! There are NO real doctors here and their utility rates are higher than normal! And the "safe neighborhoods" thing? Not a chance......We have one of the most highest rates of thieves here....! My truck got broke into 4 times in 3 months time and the damn cops did absolutely nothing about it...they told me I had to have video or it never happened! I told them they can take finger prints on my truck if they needed to just to prove it DID happen! I really hate this place!!! And you DON'T wanna move your family here unless you don't mind people breaking into your things or breaking down your door to your home!

[@TheScienceofArt]

just out of curiousity, if i was intrested in moving to Crescent City what do u think would be the best/safest part of town to live in. are there any gated communities or really nice neighborhoods?

[@1rednecker]

TheScienceofArt .....I don't recommend anyone moving here to tell you the truth! The homeless make their homes wherever they want and don't care to go to jail! The thieves are outrageous through the whole town! Your best bet is to move to Oregon.....Brookings is smaller but the crime rate ain't as bad as CC! They haven't changed the gun laws yet in Oregon, but they are trying to be like California on that part! Oregon is tax free, but that's because they add the taxes in the prices of everything! I would rather pay more for stuff I need then to be around assholes that are thieves......I will find the country and move there....WITH NO NEIGHBORS!!! Lol

[@alaskasunshine157]

Sounds to me like the K K K could be involved since 1934. Don't you think. I have a friend trying to get out and they are holding her hostage. The homeless? Excuse me? no they don't they are harassed on a day in day out basis. My friend got a ticket for supposedly sleeping in her car and she was waiting for the library to open up.

[@orhd821]

They forgot to mention all the drugs and all the crap that you deal with on a daily basis

[@montygriffiths5773]

This town needs to clean up the homeless population. along the coast. . I was just there and my ebikes was stolen right out of my truck at the motel and caught on video. Nothing can be done I am very dissatisfied., the way the city allows such a trashed environment to happen.

[@josiespringfield4808]

A friend of mine got her name on tjhe front page of the Del Norte Triplicate because no one was getting paid at Redwood Coast Seafoods in the year 2005. My friend is not on face book and she took all of her paperwork to the paper

[@josiespringfield4808]

Her name waz on tjw front page of the Del Norte Triplicate Gabe Barrera was tjhe only one being paid and they were running the business without a business license. Fel Norte Triplicate Katherine Kerlin brought in an investigatw reportee from Eureka.

[@josiespringfield4808]

[@EcoNeato]

How many feet of elevation is it save to buy a house there to avoid being killed by an impeding tsunami? I think 100', but what do you think?

[@celtaciaclemment1229]

I'd get at least a mile inland. If you are inland of Redwood Cove Community Living Center, you will be ok, I think.

[@killedfromafar]

Several herds of elk wander through CC as well as the neighboring towns too. Just don't try to feed them because they can be moody! Pretty much everything an outdoorsman would enjoy. Anyway, this was a nice video but there's alot more than meets the eye in that part of the country. If you want any suggestions about the area (food, entertainment, girls, etc) shoot me a message on here.

[@alaskasunshine157]

Hi tech industry? Where? i have been looking up this town and i have not seen anything interesting. Sounds like the K K K is involved.

[@tat2big1]

GREAT! Thanks a lot...now the best kept secret in California is out!!! lol! Now, people will start moving here faster...oh well...WELCOME TO DEL NORTE COUNTY...GOD'S COUNTRY! = )

I cannot stand that town

[@charleneparker4992]

+Dana Lynch Neither can I

[@a_hamburger2957]

why not? whats wrong with it.

[@killedfromafar]

As for jobs - nothing worth relocating for. They've recently cut back on the fishing season so even the area's main business is hurting. There are several little stores and restaurants but that's not very lucrative of course. Pelican Bay maximum security prison is just north of town and many family members of inmates have relocated to CC over the years. This, combined with the infamous neighboring "Humboldt County" and its love of marijuana, has caused crime in this area to skyrocket...

[@randydepee8595]

You dumb fuck its not the pot that brought crime here it was the prison..i was born and raised here and you lived here 10. Months. Shut the fuck about cc you dont know shit about this place..
