Hi all, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and It's a a small town city with about 18,588 people. Rent is about $1,494/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $257,400, which seems about average. The unemployment rate is 4.8%, which is about average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Active local events

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Not very walkable
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
