Overall a great place to live

I have lived in 29 Palms for 11 years. There are many beautiful things about this city, but some negative things as well. The sunsets and the night sky are beautiful. The schools are excellent and 29 is a great place to raise kids. You don't have to worry about gangs as you would in another city. Though it doesn't feel like as much of a small town as it did a few years ago it still feels like a small town with a great small-town atmosphere.
Summers are very very hot and sometimes humidity makes it horrible, but those days only happen a few times. Winter is cold and there is rain sometimes. We've gotten snow 2 times in the 11 years I've been here and it didn't stick to the ground but it snowed! Spring and fall are nice but there isn't 4 seasons. It seems like 2. Winter and summer. Most rainfall I would say is in the end of Summer around August-September.
There are a few things to do in 29, but it's pretty boring. There's a main food store,a bowling alley, a drive-in theater, and a park. There's a lot of tattoo shops, barber shops, and car lots due to the military base and all the marines. There's also a few clubs and we have a good variety of all the fast food restaurants. If you want more you can go to Yucca Valley or the base. Plus there's plenty of space to ride dirt bikes and quads.
Overall 29 Palms is a great place to live. It's beautiful and the people are friendly for the most part. It's a nice place to live if you want a quiet desert life. It can get boring, but that's what I'd expect from a small town.
