Public tra ...Read More nsportation is practically nonexistent and most jobs are in the working class sector such as restaurants, warehouses, and trucking, but there are some professional jobs if you know the right people.

What this city has that you won't find in the big city is peace and quiet, church Sundays, and a very low crime rate. It's a good place to raise a family especially if you have old school family values. There is a lot of community activities and fun things to do for the whole family especially in summer.
