Very nice people
Generally aged friendly
Well I'm originally from Mississippi and with that being said I'm use to speaking to people when I walk by. Whereas here in the city it's a brand new ball game, no one speaks to fast when you walk by them. I ask a resident where I lived do she mind telling me what time it was because I had walked to the mailbox in the complex where I live didn't have my phone nor a watch on and her response was why do I want to no the time? So, my daughter and I looked at one another and I'm like omg and trust me she never told me the time..
It has alot of senior citizens places
Friendly, easy to get around in
