I think the weather around here is amazing. Sure, there are rainy, cold, windy days, but overall, it is sunny and beautiful. All seasons are pleasant.

There are crimes every now and then, but I never feel unsafe or afraid.

Our house is wonderful and our yard is nice and enjoyable. However, a lot of people in this area do not take care of their houses and yards, so they look run-down and ugly.
