I believe Klamath Falls is friendlier for more adults as there aren't many places for kids and teenagers to go to for activities. I believe there are a lot more areas like restaurants and bars, making it more friendlier for adults to hangout. Working options also seem to be more professional (the hospital) and for more experienced people.
