Everyone is friendly in lasalle, your neighbors become more like family because they are always willing to give a hand and help. It's a small town so everyone knows everyone and If you don't people are still willing to help you and get to know you. There's not a whole lot to do around here,but if you like food beer and making friends this is the right spot for you. We don't have a lot of job opportunities just yet but more and more the area is growing and trying to grow.
When I first moved to this area in 2010, it was a safe area to live in. The crime was low and the overall feeling of being safe was great. As of late, the crime is going up, and there seems to be more instances of newsworthy events happening. In the last six months we have had a string of robberies and high speed chases. There are also houses popping up in the vicinity of my house that sell drugs out of them. This has led to a feeling of needing to more diligent in locking doors and not walking outside at night by myself. The police seem to be very responsive and quick to arrive on scene. They have been successful in catching the bad guys.
