    "I just moved here after living in Naugatuck for over 20 years. Almost everything I need is within walking distance from my apartment, and downtown has a “Normal Rockwell” feel to it. There are sidewalks, people walking their dogs and life! What a refreshing change from the valley! (And the rent is cheaper, too.)"
