Freeburg, IL
Good and bad on Freeburg Il -
8/22/2006Freeburg is a very small town near Belleville. Much of what is needed can be purchased in Belleville or nearby St. Louis which is very handy (the good). On the other hand, old timers find it difficult to accept newbys. Also, much of the land under Freeburg has been mined (coal) which may cause subsidence. Before moving there, it is very important to check mining under your residence (the bad).
Payson, AZ
Living in Payson -
8/22/2006Payson has tradionally been a pass through town for folks from Phoenix going to the rim country. Now developers have Payson on the radar screen and are trying to make a fast buck before moving on by creating subdivisions on any public land they can find. There is one big problem however. Payson does not have the water to support growth. People moving here should realize that if additional water resources are not found, this town has the potential to become a ghost town like so many in the West. Even is water is found, the cost will be considerable. It is expected that the monthly charge within a few years will be $50/mo and that is a conservative estimate.
