"I have lived here a little over a year and a half. For a town I like it, I prefer the country. I have a friendly helpful neighbor I can count on, but I'm busy when I'm home and I have a lot of activities I'm involved in away from home. I've had packages delivered regularly and never had one missing or damaged. "
