Mount Vernon

• Town in Ohio
• 47

Current Resident: If you are looking for a very friendly, safe, historical town in which to live, then look no further. Mount Vernon, OH is all of that and more! My family all live here and have been long time residents, the oldest living in Mount Vernon for her entire life, and she is 74. It a very family oriented place. I still hold residence in Mount Vernon, OH while I am currently serving in the U.S Navy overseas. After I retire form the Navy, I will retire to Mount Vernon, OH. IT is also a very historical town with many bi-centennial homes and buildings. It is a fantastic place that is very near to my heart.

Hilliar Township

• Town in Ohio
• 9

Former Resident: Hilliard has everything people need in life to succeed and thrive. It has grocery stores, shopping plazas, and dining options. There are dance studios, martial arts dojos, and all types of courts for sports. Also there are hobby shops, pottery classes, music stores which provide lessons, and a multitude of churches. Everyone seems to have a place to fit in.
The town has a strong sense of community. There are volunteer projects to sign up for, helping the elderly, reading to kids, and tutoring plus many others. If someone needed help, they found a way.
The school system is amazing. The teachers really care about the future of their students and enjoyed their work. They were experienced professionals who knew what they taught and how to teach it.
The neighbors are people to count on, the cops are there for every incident, and people seemed to care.
I wouldn't change much about Hilliard, it was a great place to grow up! Maybe just add stuff to change up the night life for adults.

Fredericktown

• Town in Ohio
• 4

Current Resident: Fredericktown is a small town known mostly for its farming. It seems as if every knows everybody here, as we are a small knit community. We are a very friendly community, and the citizens are always looking to help other people. We have monthly meals to feed the less unfortunate at the senior citizen building in town. We also host an annual Tomato show, which is like a mini-fair with all kinds of events and even a parade. Fredericktown Local Schools are amazing, they have great academics and the teachers are caring and well respected. Overall I believe that Fredericktown is a very friendly community and is an amazing town in all of its aspects.
