    "If you like smart, polite, ethical people, then Plainwell is for you. You don't have to lock your doors at night, there are parks, libraries, several destination restaurants, and extremely friendly neighbors. My wife and I have young children, so we live in town, on the river, walking distance from schools, libraries, daycare, groceries, and restaurants. My in-laws live on the outskirts on one of the lakes, overlooking acres of pristine woodland. I wish I had moved here sooner."
