Most would think a 30 yr mayor would be a bad thing but not here. She has a vision and has over that time built one great place to live. No mobile home parks, no apartments and no national product ...Read More ion builders. Exterior designs for commercial buildings very unusual, Home Depot looks like a red brick office building, Lowe's like a Grecian building, Wal*Mart with benches and park-like settings in the parking lot. Chili's not no red chili over the door, did not meet color code. Beautiful well kept neighborhoods through out the city, even the few older ones are in great shape. Good roads and access to I-55 N/S Chicago to New Orleans.
Strong law enforcement, fire dept and residential/commercial building codes and enforcement. If it were not for grand children being out of state, I would have stayed. Read Less
