I don't live in galesburg so my opinion is qualified. I do stop there a lot and in general its great. decent shopping and restaurants. Roads and infrastructure seem a bit run down in the parts I stay in. Was stopped by a cop once and appreciated the way they treated me, but thats just one experience. I'd probably move there if I had a great job offer. Seems like a pretty well run place with nice people and good diversity. Others will have more educated opinions. Thanks
