    It's like going back in time to 1955. Great town to raise you're family in. Amazing school district. No crime. No public transportation so you don't see any unwanted people walking around. Taxes are creeping up but you get what you pay for. 1 hour to NYC and it has zero city influence. Nobody blowing horns, no traffic. Great 4th of July parade. Just a great place to live

    Although their are many business, we see that many go out of business and new ones open in their place. This is manly because they are charging prices that are too high and their business is not good enough to charge that amount. (usually restaurants)
    A lot of small businesses, restaurants. Most people are business people
