    "There are a lot of community events like festivals, holiday events, theme events, art events, outdoor musical events, etc. unfortunately, though, the town is losing its quaint suburban charm because of an influx or urban transplants and the mayors desire to force diversity. "

    "Westfield is a very dog friendly community! Practically everyone has a dog in this neighborhood! There are plenty of areas and parks to walk dogs, and people are careful to keep their dogs on leashes while walking and are great about cleaning up after them! Beautiful area to take walks with the pups! "
