    "Side walks are crappy, when there are side walks. There are a couple of dog parks in the area. I heard pit bulls are illegal too "

  • Michaud.kristy
    "There is breed legislation and yet pit bulls are the most popular breed owned. It’s not safe here for certain breeds of dog. They are feared by the law"

    "That is truly a nice community. Cost of living is low, just a big small town. Friendly, safe, caring, a good place to raise children "
  • Brittany H.
    "Other dogs come and poop in your yard and roam free. It’s disgusting, and the dog park is really substandard."
  • Ellie S.
    "Quirky people, not a lot to do at all. The bike trails don’t connect and that’s a big disappointment personally"
  • Jeanna P
