What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, August 14, 2017

I agree with the previous review. This town is very small, and 99 of the people have lived their whole lives here. Everybody is related to everybody else. They do not like outsiders, which is basically anyone who hasn't lived there forever. The nepotism is suffocating. The town is all white people, and most of them have racist views and anti-LGBT, etc. They have a paper that writes gossip and info about people that shouldn't be public, like for example if someone gets disability or if they are poor, etc. They don't like anybody with different views. Most of them do not get a very good education at the school because they all go to KCC instead of a real college. I am married to somebody who has family here, and we lived with them for awhile until we got our own home away from this town. I was not sad to leave. Close Quote
