What locals say
Mixed small-town sentiment: some current residents call it friendly with attractive older homes, good parks, local downtown shops and restaurants, and easy half-hour access to larger towns, while noting income-divided areas, evening shop closures, and crime (shootings, break-ins, drugs) more often in lower-income neighborhoods. Others describe it as a stagnant or dying community that can feel unwelcoming to newcomers, geared toward retirees, and limited for building a career.
