    "I grew up here! This town has gone downhill over the last 25 years. Lots of touristy spots but must commute to do any real shopping. Jobs are virtually non existent!"
  • Lucy L
    "I just moved here and it’s a great place to raise kids and be close to family oriented night life. The art community is very prominent and small shops to frequent."
