    "There’s not much that would pose a problem for a dog owner, some streets are more industrial than others, but generally it’s a nice area and continues to improve :) There are a ton of parks around and dogs too! ...some owners don’t pick up after their dogs..but I haven’t seen these particular people for a while so maybe they moved away. It’s the same as any other town...some people are respectful, some aren’t! 🤣"
