No middle of the road here. You live on one side of the tracks or the other. Very cliquish town. Serious crime has reared its head: meth houses and murders, including at least two committed by a convicted serial killer. Drugs are prevalent in Ashland. Job opportunities come and go. Very few career opportunities here. Most commute for that sort of thing. Taxis by appointment and sometimes you have a long wait for a cab. No public busses, no transport on holidays. Rent is expensive for what you get.
I love Ashland because it is a small, conservative town with very kind people. There are lots of local farmers and excellent small businesses. The commute time to get to locations. There are lots of places to eat and plenty of churches with different denominations to choose from. Additionally, the people you meet are not just your friends, they become like family.
Ashland is a growing town. It is slowing getting better paying jobs and more businesses are interested in it. We also have a growing drug problem here, as does most of Ohio. Its very unfortunate. It's even more depressing when you see drug deals or people doing drugs and you call it in and the cops asks you "how do you know its drugs". They would rather stay in the parking lot they're sitting in watching videos on their phone than check on some suspicious activity.
