"Lovely little city town"

... for older people. I grew up here bored out of my mind. It's not exactly a small town either, but the people here carry that closeminded small-town attitude. It's a gorgeous place to live (nice landscape, great climate, and pretty nature) but not some place I would want to raise my children. There are no sidewalks in the county for people wh o like to go jogging/walking. There's only like one mall that doesn't even have all the big retail outlets. It's OK, all in all, 4 out of 5 stars.
