Good points and bad points

As someone who grew up in Quincy, IL, all I could think about was getting out. It's a small town without a lot to offer for teenagers. However, as I get older, I can appreciate it more. There is a lot of history in this town, beautiful architecture, lower crime rate, low cost of living, low average home price, beautiful parks, right along the river, etc. Beware of extreme Midwest temperatures in summer and winter, and if you have teenagers, prepare to hear about how bored they are :) But if you enjoy small town things like Arts in the Park, a Dogwood Parade celebrating the blooming dogwood trees, or Octoberfest in South Park, Quincy would be a good place for you.
