Crime is getting worse by the day as many gangs from Chicago are moving into the area. Schools are not too bad but do not like the fact they use the city bus to transport children to school. It's a college student town so population varies throughout the year.
Going go some of the college sporting events was neat. Not a whole lot to do outside of that. Winters are brutal with nasty winds.
