      The area use to be quiet, nice place to live, we never locked our doors when we first moved in. Now the the area has a higher crime rate. There use to be public pools where the kids used to go in the summer time. Now they have nothing to do but get into trouble. It is still a nice community, just not as nice as it use to be. I would move if possible. The school district is excellent.

      There could be more "nice, family friendly sit-down restaurants" in our area.
      The healthcare reform has made hospitals and their staff suffer significantly!
