Honestly, quite depressing. The people are rude, the place is very unkept - not sure if they have a City Planner or if they really understand the concept. Even the State highways going through town are designed recklessly. No wonder I hear so many sirens in such a small city. The smell of chemicals and sewer are to much for me. Seeing children swim and fish in the "river" is very disturbing. The namesake river is quite gross. run off from chemical and manure treated corn fields. Corn fields everywhere. I lived here 19 months and simply could not take it any longer. Only reason ANYONE would live here for any length of time would be for family - which would be sad. The people here do not like outsiders at all. I guess it is all just a little to embarrassing for them. The grade schools do not have air conditioners folks!!!! There are more liquor stores than schools, churches, medical facilities combined. I can see where this town was once (30 years ago) a dynamo industrial area but that is all gone now. Reminds me of Allen Town PA. after the unions ruined the area - kind of like Detroit MI. these days... I don't understand it but housing id high but nobody moving in - only out...
