Hi all, My family moved here when I was a kid. It's a a small town city with about 1,523 people. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Any help is appreciated. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 12 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Four distinct seasons
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are pricey, gas is better than expected.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Good luck with whatever you decide..
