I work in government here and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The job market for my field is tough. Definitely worth checking out..

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from New York about 15 years ago. The main reasons were school and cost of living.

Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are developing, gas is tough.

Socially, I love the pace of life here. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
