Pleasant surprise!

Moving back to my hometown after 30 years away has been a wonderful surprise. I definitely did not appreciate enough how fortunate I was to be able to grow up here. Essentially no traffic, low cost of housing and recreation, home & auto insurance costs are low. Amenities include a new performing arts center and minor league stadium plus the full slate of civic favorites like libraries and museums. The presence of Lawrence University elevates the arts and intellectual interests of the citizens. The climate is temperate and blessed with clean air. Taking advantage of the outdoor recreation means that you find boating, hiking, and organized sporting leagues everywhere. Appleton is almost like a well-kept Midwestern secret!
