    "Very small town, not a lot of diversity. Public High School graduating classes under 70 kids. Community is oldest median age in the state. Lovely programs in sports, art and music offered. Scouting available for both boys and girls. Millbrook meadow and elementary school have playgrounds, handicap accessible play area at the elementary school. "

    "I loved it here and will forever be sorry I left. The only problem were the schools, the kids grow up and leave, there is nothing here for them. Parking is horrible the town makes their money off parking tickets which has effectively stifled down town sales growth. not much night life except for the new music venue on Main Street, they have notable talent, worthy of a trip in from Boston and surrounding areas.
