So, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and It's a a mid-size city city with about 110K people. The unemployment rate is 5.4%, which is about average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What are your go-to spots? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Miami about 1 years ago. The main reasons were school and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are growing, gas is improving.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
