Old town feel.
I've been here close to 4 yrs moved from Florida. Looked forward to small town peaceful country living. I figured the small town would be better for raising kids. Mistake, the town seems to cared very little about youth quality of living. Mostly old folk in a lovely, quaint historic town who manipulate every thing to their favor. Great historic features in downtown but everything closes early. Could be a great tourist town full of livlihood but people here don't like change and are very rigid and critical of youth. there is nothing here for them to do. Major attraction is movie theater and bowling in the next town 25 minutes away. The trains will drive anyone crazy blaring their horns at all hours, every 20-30 minutes. The schools don't have alot to offer, again very rigid people. One good thing is they frequently drug test in the high school. The teen pregnancy rate very high and smoker's extremely high.
