Many of the people of this town have all the patience to take care of someone or help translate. It is almost a family community, of course; it comes with it's bumps here and there. Small town with loving characters and strong willed kids. Determined to leave and grow beyond the borders of the town that stops them.
This town needs progress. Its not a big city or anything similar, however, I believe that with a little bit of help it can become more appealing and fun for the community. I've basically lived here in my life and its progress is poor.
I was born and raised in the area, so this is my home. There isn't a lot of things to day, but it a calm and quiet place to live.
