"It would be great if the town was more dog friendly. More parks for dogs. Instead we have a police department post on Facebook that dogs aren’t allowed in a park they have been allowed in for over 10 years, and even has a poop stand."

"it is loved by many- does not have too much diversity, so many of the rich town's in the jr. high and high school that go to this school consist of teens who are biased , judgemental and make fun of anyone who is not preppy rich or super athletic . otherwise it is an okay town, close to the beach , (which is absolutely freezing in the water, however absolutely beautiful). you're within driving distance to fields/farms, 30 min from mountains, and close to historic cities. very great rec and school sports/pride. I'm moving south because I just can't do the winters here anymore, it's only warm for a few months and we spend too much time cooped up inside. but my last straw was the cost if living , it has gone through the roof for everything, mostly rentals . compared to the rate of pay and being a small business owner on a street 2 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, business just wasn't working out. there is definitely a lot of people who adore the seacoast, but mostly those are people who were born here (I was too, but there aren't many opportunities for my generation )"
