Live on the Mountain - 10/30/2010
Live on top of the mountain; air is wonderful, scenery great. Wintertime can
be rough when the roads are icy. My general health has been much better since
moving here in Dec. 2006. The town is quaint, especially Old Town. Many
events are scheduled here especially on Main Street. There a wine festival & Apple Blossom Festival. Music and dancing sometimes at the Gazebo which is at
the end of main street. We also have many wineries and it's wonderful to spend a Saturday visiting one. Health care is available and we have our
own Hospital. One can buy all necessities needed right here. Also schools are available for those who need to send their kiddies to school. People are
pretty friendly here and seem to be quite respectful of older people. In general, a nice place to live.[read more...] |

Not only is the cost of living lower (home prices, car fuel and insurance) but also my salary is above the median for this town.
