      Most of the people there seemed very close-minded and the school system was getting very conservative. Bag checks were becoming very frequent at schools and a police officer was even hired to patrol the High School.

      Of course there is crime anywhere, but this place is pretty average. Nothing I can too concerned about
      The housing is a little pricy for the quality, but it is available. As long as you stay away from the bad parts of the town (and they are obvious), you will be fine.
