Hey everyone, I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 16.9%, which is higher than I expected. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. What would you do? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

I've been living here for 1 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The public transit is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Used to live on the Old Town side, now on the South side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

As someone who grew up here, I have mixed feelings honestly. A lot has changed in the past few years though. nightlife used to be much affordable but now it's excellent.
