Grocery stores in Effingham -recommendations?

Hey, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The median home value here is around $166,700, which is actually reasonable. Median household income is $65,718, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 9.4%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. What do you all think? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Sunset. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Came here for my partner's job and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The safety is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
