    "Specifically my neighborhood. The marquette area, we have an amazing neighborhood with wonderful caring neighbors that always help one another. We do things together like tubing and bonfires and little cookouts in the summer time. It’s a beautiful neighborhood full of caring people. Everyone kind of minds their own business but is also there whenever someone needs them. I’m truly blessed to have the wonderful neighbors that I have. "
