willard is a great town - 10/31/2007
in response to Allison's comments......I have lived in several states from Southern CA, to Atlanta,GA, Orlando,FL and Nashville,TN to name a few and I have found it hard to find a place I like as much as Willard. This is a town where you can raise your children in a healthy, happy atmosphere. My son goes to Willard East and I have been very happy with his education. The community is full of nice, GENUINE, down to earth people that are friendly and educated. Downtown is tiny, but I shop often at the local store, Murfins, and have always found it to be clean, and well stocked and friendly. Yes, they are not a Walmart so they don't sell everything there, but it's a GROCERY STORE!!! There is also a local branch of a large bank and they even have extended hours that cater to the community, try finding that in a bigger place. And there is a SONIC, which has been here for about 5 years and now a McDonalds as well.
Here's another thing.... they are smart enough to build new schools

This place is not anything special... or even clos - 7/23/2006
Sure, there are the people who've lived here their entire life who insist this is perfect, small-town America. It's not. They only think it is because they've never been able to move anywhere else. It's not aesthetically pleasing at all. It's full of people living in small, poorly built homes. The school is large for the area and takes in some of North Springfield. The town is really backward concerning planning and development. They haven't allowed fast food or other chain establishments for years so as not to hurt the "small town charm" Willard supposedly has. Too bad there wasn't any of that to begin with. Nothing but a very depressing little strip that used to be downtown. There are some dirty old buildings that house a few low class restuarants, etc. There is no shopping except for a terrible grocery store where you're lucky if they carry staples like bananas and milk. It's just far enough to drive to Springfield for it to be a pain in your butt. Then you have to
