    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 5 years plus and simply love it! The neighbors are friendly and fun. There is a neighborhood cemetery nearby that is very well kept and everyone walks there. There is an elementary school about a half mile and the high school about the same distance. The downtown is about a half mile in the other direction. There are two parades that are worthy to mention. One is the largest parade in Illinois held in October which is 3 blocks away and the other is the Memorial Day parade that is rather quite small but goes by right in front of the house."
