I had a great childhood here and my nephews had a great childhood here too. I walk my dog 1am in the morning sometimes and no one messes with me. Most of the ppl that live in this subdivision has known each other for years. Many family members live right next to each other. It’s quiet at night and we band together and get rid of the bad, ratchet ppl when they try to move in."
