    "Great schools. Sports are very popular. Band program is good. We are well patrolled by the police. Like every city, some neighborhoods are better kept than others. But police and other first responders are awesome. Great local shops, though they aren’t promoted well, you can find great unique clothing and gifts. But we have big box stores and a theater as well. "
