    "I used to like living here...but then again Im an adult now and I was a sheltered child. Too many people and the city is not spread out enough for traffic. It takes 15 minutes to get from one end to the other when it used to be less than 5. People are nice, but very nosey. Cant wash my car, change the oil, mow the lawn without 5 people in that time, saying “me next”. We do have walmart, safeway and bimart. Not enough cafes to enjoy.its just your basic mcdonalds or the 3 expensive restaurants ($20+ per plate). And tweakers EVERYWHERE. Im ready to move."
