Elmira is a very beautiful city if you actually look close. They have old Victorian houses everywhere, a river that runs through the whole city, parts of the city still have brick streets, bridges everywhere, beautiful buildings and churches, a prison that is hundreds of years old that is a gorgeous powerful looking building, and you can also get a bit of the country side in elmira. Elmira the city its self is beautiful, its just the ppl who want to destroy it. Its pretty sad, because that city could be so much more prosperous and could just shine if the people would let it.
Damn, what Elmira once was
and what it could be again today.

A city in Upstate New York. The other people that made definitions about Elmira are all wrong. Some say it is a terrible place to live, which isn't true at all. There are plenty of good and safe neighborhoods in Elmira. Also, the person that said "bad shit rarely goes down" is wrong because there has already been at least 8 shootings this year that I know of and that is a lot for a city of its size. There are ghettos, crackhouses, gangs, drugs, and many problems, but this can be found in a lot of cities.
Overall Elmira is a good place to live and does have some very nice neighborhoods. It was ranked #3 in America's Best Green Cities and has some of the best and most desirable housing in the country. Its downtown is coming back and the population is now on the upswing.

Elmira really isn't that bad, ooobvy you havent looked that close. im not gonna lie, it has the prison, and jail. whoooa!? righhht. (: But its not like that affects us? Have you ever been up on any of the hills? Its BEAUTIFUL. as is west elmira any many of the other nieghborhoods. We have many great people who came from here, and who are growing up here. they dont have to be famous. Elmira used to be much better than it is now, but you have to make it what you want to be. I personally love it and so do many of my friends. We have secret places we have found, and there are many things to do between the pine city area allll the way through elmira up to the corning/horseheads area all within a half hour drive. Come visit. ;)
Elmira is awesome. ;*

A quaint town in Upstate New York near the Finger Lakes. Has a small population and is a short distance from Ithaca and Corning. Contains a beautiful college under the same name. Lots of factorys due to its large economic past. Known for the town where Mark Twain wrote the legendary Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Wow, Elmira would be a nice place to visit on a vacation.

The person whos definition lies above me could not be anymore wrong. It is a town of people who THINK they are hood when in fact are very wrong.Their high percentage of wiggers and fake gangstas like to invade other towns around them, causing a lot of drama and try to persuade others that they are gangsta. In conclusion, Elmira is a town in which bad shit rarely goes down, despite how many would like to believe so.
"Elmira is, in reality, not very hood at all."

So far all of you guys are wrong that said things about Elmira. There are some bad places in Elmira, but just as many good places. Yes there are projects, crackhouses, and gangs, but it isn't that bad of a place to live. The one that said "bad shit rarely goes down" is very wrong because Elmira does have a high crime rate for a city of its size.
The people that posted the other things obviously have never lived in Elmira and haven't seen it all.
