    "Church is close knit community. The people are really good people in our whole area. Our parish picnic is in 2weeks 600 hundred people come. We take care of each other. The only reason we want to go south toMyrtle beach is because we can’t stand the winter anymore."

    "I live in Yonkers, New York and it isn’t really a nice place in my opinion. I think parents should know to not let there kids out past 4:30 because that is the time the sun starts to go down and it could be dangerous "

    "The commute isn’t ideal but not too bad. If I get a ride to train it’s fine. Although I can take bus to train but ultimately that will add an extra 45 minutes to my commute."
