    "Gun shots. Weird people watching everything you do. People let their dogs run wild. A lot of stray, large breed dogs making it dangerous to walk outside. There are no good stores here. There’s not even a 7-11. You have to drive an hour to go to Trader Joe’s. Almost none of the homes here have pools. The only thing the city has going for it is one luxury movie theater, but they refuse to sell tickets on Fandango."
