Good old boys control this city User Rating 1 rating By Anonymous ( May 20, 2019) This city is controlled by a white male, very staunchly rooted conservatism which continually seeks to profit the real estate owners of the city, rather than the local inhabitants. Rampant and flagrant racism, marked by oddly-placed and stiffly executed tubman/slave murals- poin ...Read More tedly executed by rich white men-show a distinct lack of respect and a capitalization of the rich historical past. Foreigner-averse locals, sexist attitudes, and as well vocal anti- liberal sentiments are the norm in this sometimes cute and historic town.

My immediate neighbors do seem friendly enough, but that isn’t enough to outweigh the cons. There is just so much room for improvement here. The city needs to focus on the local residents more and not worry only about the tourist. We pay taxes and deserve some improvements. Read Less
