Hi there,

I lived there from 1959-1962 and then again from 1988-2005.

I’m not sure what your question is. My opinion of living there: if you are skilled, you can make a good living and find a relatively inexpensive house. I raised my son there (he’s 16 now) and while it’s a bit dull, he has friends he’s had since 4 years old. And that’s what makes life in small towns more interesting.

Visiting: sure, there’s a lot of stuff to see nearby. Touristy, scenic stuff, ball games, hockey, football, spring training. Yes it’s hot in the summer: horribly hot. I got tired of it after 17 years. Good luck!
