Dissapointment Town - 8/5/2018
Nothing to do. Every establishment is operated below its own company policies/standards. Overly-populated with ignorant and closeted men with a thirst for incessant attention as if they were 13 year old pubescent girls. Food joint selection is minimal. Consistent violence and sexual assault/harassment. Too many sexual predators in such a small area. It's essentially a "not-yet-broke" Read More

Outdoorsman's heaven but that's it - 2/26/2007
If you like hunting and some fishing, out here where the deer and antelope play is a nice location. But if you like a variety of entertainment, you'll have to be satified by satellite tv. Not much selection or support for restaurants or shopping. People in this area seem to prefer to drive 2 - 14 hours to satisfy those urges. School system is decent but very sports oriented. High food and fuel costs and minimal health Read More
