    Could be better, could be worse. As a minority WOC, my experience growing up here was mundane at best and frustrating at worst. There was always a sense of 'otherness' that came with being one of very few non-white students in class, and the people in this town, while generally polite, were not particularly kind, inclusive, or welcoming.

    I absolutely love that I can walk almost anywhere for food, groceries, etc... I grew up in a wonderful neighborhood where there was at least one child in every home. I had plenty to do because I live on a beautiful lake and have a five minute walk to a park. The best part is the trail system! It's beautiful and quiet. I also love to walk to the community center to shoot hoops. Shoreview is filled with wonderful things to do and wonderful people.
    There are many parks and it's very family-friendly. I've found the local government to be approachable and aligned with my personal values. There could be more sidewalks for those who don't always have access to a car, but that is slowly being improved each year.
