Love this town

I moved here in 2003 and immediately adored it. My husband and I ended up moving to Augusta after an emergency, and now after 8 years, missing it, and him hating the extra long commute to work, we are moving back. Aiken is home.
I don't understand the people talking about nothing to do, I work at home and I can always find things to do. Small towns are not meant to be bustling and busy and full of 1000s of things to do, you make your own fun! Geez, I grew up in L.A. and yet I know this.
I feel sorry for the person who finds the natural beauty of Hopelands to be so ugly. Sculpted parks are a hollow comparison.
For the lady who was concerned about SRS, there is no reason to be. It is very safe living there, it is 15mi or so from Aiken proper, and it is just nuclear waste reclamation and processing, nothing dangerous.
I love Aiken. I will happily live here the rest of my life, and I am 38.
