    "it's a small town atmosphere but bigger then you think. I live in downtown Morris for 10 years now, I'm 29 and lived in the city and also lived outside a town with a population of 73 in deep country Wisconsin. Morris has the mix of both and seems to be a great place to raise your kids. Morris has some fun events, okay schooling, history, great children sports, not too far from Chicago and Joliet, and clean. "
