Carson is a great city for the most part. There are some weirdos of course, but not too many. The city and its residents have lots of spirit for the town. Surprisingly, the city is more historic than you'll think. There are plenty of activities that occur around the city and MANY activities to keep your youngins busy. There are also many great big and small businesses and stores nearby to shop at. Overall, very good city!
Its a quite city, but many things to experience and do. What I enjoy doing here at Carson city is go to the parks, there is one near my house that my family and I go to enjoy the weather, that was when corona was not a thing. My family and I will go to the park and play sports like soccer, basketball, tennis, and volleyball. One memory that I have from Carson is that one day my family and I were playing baseball, my cousin joined us that day, my father appointed him as the pitcher and I was the 3rd person to hit the ball, when my cousin was ready to throw the ball and I was ready to hit a home run, I accidentally hit the ball hard and let's say I did not suck at baseball. Well because I do not have the expertise of a baseball player I accidentally hit my cousin in the stomach with the baseball ball that he, may I say a perfect pitch, I was laughing, but also concerned at the same time. That is why I enjoy the parks at Carson city they remind me to never play a baseball game with
