    "I’ve lived here for 15 years . Schools are horrible people are not too nice but to themselves for the most part. Neighbors are not friendly. Place is semi racist. Everyone has a dog pretty much which is nice . Taxes are high for such crappy public schools. Roads and sidewalks are horrible. A lot of car theft for some reason. "

    "Nice are for a quiet living space. However, it’s a bit Erie, semi friendly people, either too nosy neighbors or very introvert. Lots of summer activities for kids at park for the locals. Parking is a bit annoying if you don’t have your own that is. Ups and downs like every town. "
