Weekend activities in Oxford?

Hey, Military spouse here. The unemployment rate is 2.9%, which is pretty low. It's a a small town city with about 22,063 people. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Anyone in a similar situation? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Nice parks and green spaces

- Good internet infrastructure

- The cost of living scene is tough

The downsides:

- Rising rent and home prices

- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
