    "Excellent Highway access all directions. Easy on & off ramps, roads are maintained & in good conditions, friendly drivers, most obey speed limits & follow vehicle directional signs. Plenty of gas stations, restaurants and stores near highway access points. Seeing a trend in Gas Stations tearing down & rebuilding Super Travel Stations. New stations are very appealing by design, big city trendy and super nice inside. You can find just about anything you may need for a road trip, cell phone accessories or everyday commuting. A variety of quick foods, gourmet coffees & ice-cold-fruity & colorful-slushy-drinks that would appeal to any age, young or a little older! Safe travels y’all!"

    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for almost 5 years. It has a mix of age groups, with families & children of all ages, to post-retired adults. Very Dog friendly! Super safe & neighbors watch out for each other’s homes. Annual Block Parties are held on each participating street. I’d like to meet extended neighbors & prefer that community parties could be held at a local park, like Edgewood!"
