May seem quaint, in passing through, but this town is anything but quaint and sleepy. The people "in charge" here have feared actual progress for so long, wanting to keep the town small and "sleepy" - it has created an economically repressed area, in every way imaginable.
The town is rife with a ridiculous amount (per capita) of hard drugs, crime, homelessness and a fair amount of lawlessness.
The town motto is "It happens everywhere" and is verbally defended heavily, without any genuine action towards improvement.
It is also the nosiest place I have ever lived. Prepare for daily and nightly engine gunning and racing - on main roads and throughout the neighborhoods. As far as anyone has found - there is no enforceable noise ordinance.
There are nice people here, just like everywhere - but too many are quite rude.
If you're looking for good ol boy - wild, wild west kind of living - this is your place.
The town anthem here is sirens - I'm not even joking. read more
