Honestly it’s worse cause there’s no central downtown, it’s just suburban sprawl divided by a bunch of shitty looking strip malls

Downtown comprises the police station, library and Valley high school opposite the now-Whole Foods strip mall - but yes.

im cool with that ngl. its clean, quiet, and the houses are well-kept.

i live near the NY border. most places are like that here.

exception would probably be Norwood, Westwood and Ramsey.
