    "There’s a community calendar of events, and many town sponsored activities. Organized trick or treating downtown, overall super safe place to live and all that you need is right in town. Walmart, CVS, stop & shop, dollar tree, runnings, Dunkin’ Donuts, Subway, McDonald’s, giant pizza, and other local mom n pop restaurants downtown, as well as Day Kimball hospital. "

    "Located in a country just outside the city limits keeping you close to all the town activities, shopping, dining, river walk, and dog park. Amazing performing arts centers in the heart of Putnam make this town much different from what surrounds it. This is is also coupled by the well know antiques district in downtown Putnam which is full of a mix affordable and fine dining. Come enjoy this Gem of a home in a town that has a long history of family friendly recreation and and brand new YMCA."
