    "Some ‘dog-walkers’ carry a ‘poop’ sack w/then when they walk their dogs in the neighborhood (which is great)! Other people let their dogs ‘poop’ in people’s yards & are too lazy to ‘clean up the mess!! Nobody likes ‘stepping’ in a pile of ‘dog poop’! Yuck!! 😆👎"

    "My husband & i have lived here 4 years. We've had very little problems. The house is great. Most of our neighbors are social. They have looked out for us since we've lived here. The only problems are: we have no stores that are really close for those who have to walk or ride a bus. Although, we do have a nice carry out on Vine St. & Saint Johns. Also, there's a gas station close on Saint Johns that's convienant. There are 3 close schools. I feel safe in letting my grand kid play in the yard. Our neighborhood is safe & friendly. We can have cook outs & lots of fun. We sit by the fire at night in the summer & listen to music. Won't you be my neighbor?"

    "My husband and I have lived a lot of places all over the country. Living in Bath Township has been amongst our favorite places to live. It's quiet, friendly, safe, and open. We have appreciated the solid educational foundation the schools have given to our children, and the community itself seems to care about our children. Even though we are not from Bath, we have loved living here."
