"Beware walking your dogs in Tarentum. There is trash everywhere there are loose dogs in unfenced yards. The bus stop is grossly scattered with chicken bones and trash. Best to walk dogs in middle of the street when traffic is light. Otherwise it is a dangerous walk. "

"You literally have to watch where you walk your dog. There is trash everywhere and it’s scary what your dog may ingest plus dog owners not cleaning unless their dogs feces!"

"Nice kinda quiet town and the only thing to get use to is the occasional train thru town. And the fire whistle too. The neighbors in town are great and some of the people walking around can be rude they dislike my dogs that wouldn’t hurt a person ever"

"I’ve lived here for just about 2 years and it’s for the most part a quiet town. But occasionally there is a train that goes thru town, and also the occasional fire whistle which is something I’ve become accustomed too. "
