I describe this city "a speck of dirt". The people there is the only reason why they get one house rating from me. The people are nice but the actual town is horrible. It is extremely small. They have built new things there but overall it is still a very small town. This is not a place where you would want to raise your kids and expect them to be successful. Most people that I have spoken to from there that left were extremely happy that they left. There is just not enough opportunities there for personal growth.

There is a local eatery bar there called LL Bar and the food is so super good! The burgers and the wings are fantastic. What is bad, to me, b/c I'm not an outdoors person is that there are so many bugs and animals just running around. I don't like that at all.
