    "I've lived in Oberlin for 30 years. It's a wonderful small town. Great for raising a family. There are lots of kid activities, restaurants are good, and walking or bike riding distance. Splash Zone is near by with a lovely workout room, and winter or summer swimming. Wouldn't trade it for the world!"
