I live in a relatively calm simple town. There are many, schools, establishments and places to work. There are many apartment complexes, as well. I think it is a sufficient place to live.

To be the upmost honest I am a young adult and sometimes I don't even understand what's going on. Although its very livable, transportation is top notch and the community is always up to something
