Anderson is a small, decent town with a few places for food and enjoyment. Throughout the town, many diverse restaurants exist, which are mostly either Mexican or Chinese food. There are also many fast food places. For enjoyment, Anderson had a bowling alley, two beautiful parks, a beautiful museum of art. There are many nice neighborhoods, but there could be some improvements. Much of the town seems very rundown since multiple businesses have closed down or left town over the past decade. There are some places that many parents wouldn't feel safe taking their children. Regardless of this, there are still multiple parts of Anderson that make it a beautiful place to live. As a small town, there are many local businesses to support, such as local farmers' markets and local hair salons. Overall, Anderson is a nice town with a few flaws, but a good place to experience good times.
What I enjoy about living in Anderson are the great locations of various residences that provide easy access to schools, restaurants, and other leisure activities. I would like to see improvements within the depth of the community for those who are struggling, homeless, or living below the poverty line. One of my ideas has been to introduce a no questions asked food pantry that is open 24/7 but unfortunately no one within my community has been willing to provide assistance with a location. Being a human is already hard enough when you’re well off, the least we could do is aim to help those in need.
One thing people don’t often talk about this city is the beautiful parks, there are plenty of leisure activities and the city has many varieties of food and drink options. The worst parts of the city are the boarded up industry of the past and way Too much fast food. Of the past 5-7 years the city has been growing and real estate prices are cheaper than most of elsewhere. The other great thing is the downtown library area which has been growing in recent years. Overall the city is great, if you can overlook the broken down sections and bad sections and look at the amazing parks and great people. I think anyone can enjoy days of fun or years of living in Anderson.
