What is like to live in Brookville ?

My ancestors lived in Brookville pre civil war era . Im wondering what it is like there now.

Exaxctly the same.

i hear there is a lot of suburban sprawl.
city peeps coming to pay taxes
i say amen

I've lived here most of my life. Small town still, not many good local jobs, most people have to drive at least 15 miles to work. But it is a good, friendly town to live in, for the most part.

Most of the old people has died off, the younger ones have moved away for good jobs and all thats left is relocated Buckeyes...

Brookville is one of the best communities I have lived in. Quiet but not so far out of the city.
Kinda like Mayberry NC.

You have got to be kidding, more like payton place, f. your neighbor, lets see how we can take advantage of this person. I had a wonderful life until I moved to franklin co. I spent a life time working hard to have a good life, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, well I sure got done unto by them but not how I would have done others. I never experenced anything like it before. More like pure hell! Its only pure gold if you are one of the thieves.

Mr. Dan Bruns

Brookville is nothing but drama,drugs,fighting!!! NO ONE knows how to mind the own buisness that has nothing to do with them and just loves to run their mouth about everyone. For christ sakes you can't even go into a gas station and hear employee's or costumers in there talking crap about someone! That town is a joke! and i don't see how any one can say its such a wonderful place cause its NOT! like everyone eles is saying you have a sheriff and everyone else you can think of getting arrested for drunk driving! Yeah thats a great impression on brookville! Its like if something happens two seconds later everyone in brookville knows and the sad thing is no one knows how to keep their story straight and make up a bunch of s**t and when it finally gets back to the person its just one big fight!! I hate that town and i'm so glad i moved away and i will never move back there and wouldn't recommend anyone else to live there. And another thing everyone talkes about connersville being bad about drugs and different race and all these young girls getting pregnant at like twelve well guess what BROOKVILLE is the same EXACT way

glad you're gone, we are one less with the DDF, thanks

ok glad i'm gone too! Its my opinion and I can say what i want to say about that town!!!!!

good for you who knows but there are people in this town that love it here and are glad to be raising their kids here and are proud of it! No matter where you go, it all still goes on. So enjoy packing everytime you get sick of a little town. Seriously, 12 yr olds getting pregnant isn't the towns fault it would be the parents.

Then you must be part of the crowd that controls everyone or you don't mix with anyone very much. That is the only way to be happy there. I was ok when I did not have to have anything to do with most of the people there. As far as girls getting pregnant , every girl friend I had from Brookville got pregnant before marriage to get a husband, and the boys that didn't marry them, they gave up babies for adp. Glad I'm gone too. Had no problems where I lived before Brookville and have none where I live now. Don't ever plan on going back to that place.

damn, i've been living here for almost all of my life, and have had several sexual encounters......haven't you ever heard of condems??????????

I like Brookville. It is a nice quiet place to raise a family. I grew up here and stay here because I WANT to. Every town that you go to in the United States (or anywhere in the world for that matter) have to same problems we do: teen pregnancy, welfare abusers, gossippers, and other ill doers. I have actually live away from here and know this to be true. It's not just blind speculation.

To the original person who posted this topic: Brookville is a quiet lake town. We have a strong summer tourist industry with the Brookville Lake and the Whitewater River. The unemployment rate is very high. We have an unnatural love for fried chicken. It's a nice place to visit and a nice place to stay!!
