    The people are friendly. The schools are excellent. Local AA meetings are warm and insightful. There is a nice variety of restaurants, shopping, churches and entertainment.
    Leola is a small and close community. Everyone is generally very friendly and helpful. Having a car is not a necessity but is useful. People do make good use of public transportation and can easily catch the bus on main street and get wherever they need to go.
