"this town is quiet and safe and away from all the crime!! the folks are very friendly. there is not a lot of bad businesses here and my children got to go to great schools too!b I really like the peacefulness of living here. I can't wait to get home when I have to go away. every year we have a picnic and everyone pitches in to help. we also have the best fireworks of any town around on the 4th of July. I guess the best attribute of all is the security we have living here. "
