Great place to live if you enjoy daily seasonal c

Please keep in mind that this review maybe a little premature considering we have only lived here for nine months. The elementary educational system we have found to be excellent. But the cost of living we have not found to be substantially different from the Mountain West where we moved from. The money is just switched to different categories taxes, groceries, medical/dental coverage is higher. The taxes are four times higher on housing. The cost of fresh fruits/vegetables a 1/3 higher and limited. There are no fresh salad bars around here!. The community lives on red meat, potatoes and beer. There's a Happy Harry's liquor store on every corner. The cost to join a public fitness facility is twice as high and limited. If you are not into snowmobiling, hockey, football and living indoors this is not a good place to live in the winter. Blue cross/Blue shield is the (ONLY) choice we have and the premium is comparable with our old coverage,but, the deductible is very high. A good majority of the dental offices do not accept MetLife insurance ,so, you can expect to travel 45miles or more for the nearest dentist. If you are use to living a very healthy, active lifestyle biking, running and being outdoors a good majority of the year this is not a good place to be. But if your main purpose is to find a better educational system for your children its great! A overall better place to raise your children? the jury is still out on that one.
