    "You can get a community family here through school, sports activities, and city event. Lower crime compared to other areas around the south Charleston area. I’d move outside the city if I could to. South Charleston definitely has a diverse community and everything you need is in this area. Nice schools, grocery shopping, sports, playgrounds and all"

    "There is a local dog park where people bring jugs of water to share and leave them. They’re easy to refill and there are several dog bowls out. The park is well maintained but people typically don’t have great control over their dogs and don’t like large breeds to come in. People tend to be rude if you have a breed that is highly trained but they think is too big to play with others. "

    "I see people always walking their dogs in my neighborhood. There is a park known as Joplin Park right in front of my home. So you either see dog owners at the park, or walking them on the Turnpike, probably going to or coming from the Park. Dog owners can also take advantage of the dog park Joplin has to offer. Joplin Park is perfect for dogs to run around and play with their owners because it's very wide open and spacious enough. There's a water fountain and doggie potty bag station. Friendly people, well lit at night and safe. "
