Very affordable place to buy a home. Middle of town so your close to everything. Sometimes things seem a little sketchy. If you take the time to actually talk or be friendly to your neighbors you find most are decent

Lots of unique restaurants and shops in parts of the city. Others have just the generic chains. You kind of have to know what you're looking for.

Very unpredictable. Can be cold and rainy one day and warm the next. Nothing too drastic though.
