Happy Saturday!
What are the best things and the worst things about where you live? You don't have to mention where you live.

What about you? What are some good things and bad things about where you live?
What are the best things and the worst things about where you live? You don't have to mention where you live.
Best things:
- We are somewhat rural and we like it that way; it's relatively quiet around here. Yes, we have to drive everywhere, so we do need vehicles. We can't just walk to town.
- We are blessed with a cheesemaker down the road, two chocolate stores (both make their own chocolates and pastries) in town, and an excellent bagel place. A cookie store opened in town and it's doing a thriving business. We still have a movie theatre.
- There's a great winery not too far away. While we do have our share of chain restaurants, we also have a selection of nice restaurants.
- We live between two university towns, so they're fairly eclectic. Shopping can be quite interesting, especially around Christmas. I love parking the car and just walking through town, checking out the stores.
- It's a pretty town. There are trees on the main street, they take care of the streets, owners take pride in their buildings. Although rents can be very high for the tenants.
- Because we are somewhat rural, it can take a while for the police to get here, when needed. And sometimes, they are needed, whether because of a bad accident or because the neighbors are being idiots. We've had both.
- Like other areas, traffic can be ridiculous. People tend to use our road as a shortcut to the mall. We have several accidents every year; I was actually hit while out walking several years ago; fortunately, it wasn't serious.
- Taxes are ridiculous.
