    "Lots of dog owners frequent Russell Square Park and Rainbow Beach. However, a DOG PARK would be awesome especially one with a pond!"

    "I've been here 8 years. Most of that time it's been really nice - quiet, decent neighbors. I run through Rainbow Park and along the beach 4-5 days a week and have never felt unsafe there. There was a corner liquor store that was a problem for a while, but their license was revoked and all is back to normal now. Very peaceful and I love living so close to the lake. There's a small dog beach at the end of 79th that makes it really worthwhile to be here."

    "I've lived in this area my whole life, not the safest of places. If you keep to yourself and don't go out in the night hours, you're good. All the shopping/restaurants are a sort of nearby, but you can't walk there in the night. Also, I lived across the street from the Burley house and someone had died there"
