A Friendly City Filled With Excitement 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I adore living here; I cannot think of another place I would rather be. It is a small quaint diversified community with friendly people. There is an array of outdoor activities to partake in. Thus, I am appreciative for the nearby community churches offered. This is a great place ...Read More for family living, tourism and vacationing. The one advantage is the occasional rain and cloudy weather. The summers are mild it never gets to hot and winters typically are never too cold.

The job market is consistent, if you are seeking a new lucrative career, there is certainly some good opportunities here. Furthermore, jobs have increased about 3.63% within the past year. Continuing education tools are offered for residents who are public, private, recent graduates and college students.

Dallas has a few attraction and amenities, their historic tall business buildings are known to be very favorable. I also enjoy the theatres, parks, museums, shopping centers, beaches and lakes this city has to offer. My go to favorite is the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor in Monmouth. Their ice-creams are delicious! Read Less
