    "there are parks for kids to play at. it's pretty quiet here. people walk their dogs and the owners keep the dogs under control."
  • Stephen J. S.
    "live here for about half a year."
  • Rob S.
    "I have lived in this area for 5 years now. I grew up in a large city. This small town has more rampant drug and crime problems than a lot of cities. Most people who live here do not own their homes, so no future investment is noted in a large part of the community. Schooling is poor but on the rebound. Parks and recreation is average. Shopping and entertainment is very limited in the immediate area. Parking on most streets is very limited. There is no public transportation to speak of. The cleanliness of the community is very low. Again this is due mostly to the fact that at least half, if not more, of the population rent and take no measures to improve the properties."
