Additional Info~On the verge of being an "isolated duty section." Everything here is pretty cheap though. Apartment and house rentals are few and far between, but you can expect to pay anywhere between $250 - $450 (any more than that is a rip off, trust me). Small town, not much here. Few restaurants (mostly fast food), little shopping (there is a mall but half of it is vacant), one movie theater (three screens), a bowling alley, and it's a tavern town (lots of bars for attracting gutter rats). There's a methamphetamine problem here.
