Relocating to Decatur, IL -pros and cons?

Hello, Just moved here 3 months ago and It's a a smaller city city with about 70,368 people. The unemployment rate is 5.0%, which is about average. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What are your go-to spots? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The pet-friendliness is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..
