    "I’ve lived here 5 years after moving back from college, after growing up in Cresco. Elm Street is starting to thrive with new businesses. Living by the fairgrounds specifically is a great neighborhood with nice neighbors who help look out for your kids and community. Safe and close to everything. BUT careful what you do or say because no one is protected from small-town gossip. Great town to raise a family!"

    "Cresco has a large fitness center with a pool that can be used by anyone for a small enterence fee. You can even leave and come back later without paying a second time! Cresco might not have many resturants, but they are all very good. I especially recommend the Chinese resturant. If you only have time to eat in one place, go to the Panda Garden. The greatest part about a small town is that it is compact. You can get to everything you need with just your feet. If you do want to use more than your feet, use your bike and the bike trail. You can take the trial to a number of other towns or you can just take it down to enjoy the springs with it's beautiful new water feature area. Cresco also has an active commuinty theatre group. You can take in great shows like Seussical, The Christmas Carol, or Mash. If you are ambitous, anyone is welcome to try out for a part or help out back stage. Come to Cresco and find your own section of the nut to enjoy."
