    "Wonderful, family friendly city. We love the small town feel and great restaurants and library. Active Faith is a wonderful organization that unites churches and charities in our area. Hunters Creek is a beautiful, friendly subdivision with park, pond and tennis courts. Great school district! It was a great place to raise our sons who have since left the nest. I hope to live here many more years."
