    "Swansea is close to everything. (shopping, parks, restaurants) Nearby small towns have well attended Art Festivals, Food Events, & Parades. Charming downtowns, with a variety of restaurants. Across the Mississippi River, is St Louis & its many cultural & sporting venues within 20 miles. International airport within 30 miles. A great place to live, & our choice for retirement. "
