There are plenty of cute farmers markets, thrift shops, antique stores, bakeries, cafe’s, non-chain restaurants (as well as chain restaurants), a cute little theater, and so much more to enjoy in this town. I have never had a problem with crime or heard of any serial/major crimes being committed in this town and I’ve lived here since August of 2015. It is a small town surrounded by lots of forest and country if you want to be even more secluded. The town is growing slowly, but only enough to keep it interesting. Overall, I would say this is a great town to live. Read Less
