Growing Fast but still friendly 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 07, 2022) Great small town vibe, down to the Christmas and July 4th parades. County Fairgrounds are here. The Sheriffs department is excellent, they capture the few bad guys, don't break the law here! Not many restaurants, a few are ok. Very close to the wineries and the outlet malls. Very ...Read More nice people. Good schools. Traffic is getting heavy, not enough roads. Read Less
