When you say East Arlington, nobody ever really know what you're talking about. It's Girvin!! Tons of restaurants, shopping, and relaxation in this area. Just far enough from the city and beach to avoid the peak traffic times, just close enough to them that nothing's ever too far away. Could really do with some nearby nightlife. It's essentially a dead zone besides fast food when it gets late enough.

Where I live is generally the same as any normal living environment in America. There's not much traffic, hardly any crime, and plenty of shopping areas nearby.

I don't see the police around much but they have a pretty good response time and there's hardly any crime within the area.

The area has a mix of both chain and family owned business and restaurants. The people for the most part are kind and non-confrontational. Plenty of Youth activities outside of school.
