"There are lots of young children in the area, a few parks and the stores tend to be very child friendly, complete with children's play areas. During the pandemic, the local neighborhood put on a 'bear hunt,' where you put a teddy bear in your window so families with children could take walks in the neighborhood and spot them. "
