    "Dog parks in most apartments downtown. Many parks throughout the city. Dog friendly city with many dog owners . Traffic is heavy in the evenings but foot paths and sidewalks are accessible."

    "easy access to Transit stores and gas stations close by the library is right up the street. I would suggest having a vehicle getting around but it's not necessary"
