Kids play around with each other and we all do get together with all neighbors
Friendly because almost everyone has manners for each other and don't mind giving a helping hand.
I live in a friendly community people helping people
We need more jobs in our community. Our town is living on a budget. Not too many interesting things to see or jobs.
