I have lived in Ferris my whole life; the small town is swiftly growing and being restored including new buildings like Pizza Hut and Starbucks which will bring plentiful attention to our area.
Ferris is what you would call the admiration of every small town in America. It's ideal diversity and community outreach is beyond stupendous, though I would like to see more nightlife in the area. On the other hand, this small town is slowing growing, adding more local businesses and households. I can't wait what the future of the the city I called home since I was born will look like in half a decade!
Ferris is how you say, boring. There is not much to do here, no activities to do nearby. There are parks but not many people go there or any for that matter. I end up going to another town to do something. The schools are ok, they need to make the lunches better though. It has gotten less affordable to live hereafter more houses were built in my neighborhood. Not many jobs here in Ferris, but it's a good amount for a small town. Overall, Ferris is an average place to live.
