    "Herrin is a decent town, with a friendly vibe. Seems pretty progressive for its location. 25 minute commute to work. Minimal traffic. Herrin could use more civic amenities i.e...new oublic park, library, bike/walking trails, updated public water park, public greenway, movie theatre, cultural events and a ymca. "

    "On the 1800 block of 14th street we have Obnoxious neighbors and loud dogs 😂 don’t bother contacting animal control or the police because nothing will make a difference 🤷🏼‍♀️ and forget contacting an alderman about literally anything from a needed stop sign to downed lines or shrubbery blocking road signs causing accidents. And don’t forget the noisy employees at SNC"

    "I used to live in this area when I was in college. It felt like a cute little American town. Nice local restaurants in Herrin. Close enough to the college to easily commute every day, but far enough away that you don't have to deal with loud late night partying. Loved my neighbors in Herrin. The only time there is any traffic is during HerrinFest. Miss living in such a cute little community!"
