There are so many positive things about the hometown where I grew up! There are walking trails, and great schools. Lots of tennis courts and swimming pools too, all public.
But I wouldn't want my LOs to grow up there, because I didn't feel like the town was that open minded about a range of things. So I'd rather have our kids grow up somewhere where they can be exposed to a wider range of thought.
Would you raise your LO in your hometown?
