Life in Coal City :) - 12/21/2010
Coal City is a nice quiet little town where people mostly mind their own business. There are plenty of community events, this is a great place to live if you have young children! The local library is great! They offer so many kid friendly activities, esp during the summer! The town offers a community clothes closet where you can donate/pick out free clothes, toys, and household items...every holiday season they offer a free breakfast with Santa and your kids get a free picture with Santa and Mrs. Claus (they get a free gift too)...there is a community food pantry if you need help you can go once a month and get free food and a voucher for the local grocery store(Berkots- kind of pricey unless they're having a sale)...We go do our main grocery shopping in Morris about 20 mins away...Also, the schools here are very good!
