    "Dog owners, even on the easements, pick up after your dog. The county pocket lacks adequate street maintenance so it is up to the home owners to clean up what is left behind. And no, we don't want to smell what your dog has been cooking. Exercise your dog to your heart's content but turning a street into a dog toilet is not cool. Be kind, don't empty your dog's behind. "

They prefer to keep to themselves. They will report suspicious activity and everyone somewhat knows each other. Be careful with high speed There are kids and animals everywhere"
