With everything going on with the corona virus, ppl are staying away. And that's good. I believe we do have a friend town,bought as always room for improvement. We should be encouraging to one another especially at the stores where ppl are mostly at.It's good to smile from time to time, and make a difference:).
It's a community that cares.Both young and old.
Most ppl say hi and yield to traffic. Many smile.
Liveable.care friendly
I think they could do more for the elderly. Although I've never really had to experience that side of my town.
