I'd give Carson City a zero if I could. Simply, there's nothing to do here except drink and gamble. Sure, Tahoe seems close, but the vibrant part is about 40 minutes  More

I've lived in Olathe for 12 years. Olathe is a quiet bedroom community with great schools. 21st Century program provides many career path choices at the high school  More
