    "Millsboro is a nice place to live, in town it’s easy to walk from end to end. Lots of good shopping on the highway. The only downside is the schools and roads aren’t accommodating to the amount of residents that live here. It can talk several minutes to travel short distances during commuting time and beach traffic in summer. Still trying to pass a referendum to get larger schools, kids are packed in like sardines. Town has lots of potential, just got to get family friendly people to come out and support the community. "
