WeatherHow much crime?What are the neighborhoods like?What are the people like?
The weather in this town goes through a variety of changes. We can reach 100 degrees in summer and as low as the teens in winter. We are very prone to hurricanes in the summer. We can also experience changes in temperature during the winter as much as 50 degrees in 24 hours. We can have dry summers and wet winters.We are located in a rural area north of Lake Ponchatrain in Louisiana. We really do not have a huge crime rate when it comes to hard crimes such as murder and robbery when we do it makes big news. We mostly have misdemeanors.We do have certain parts of this town that are known as the good and the bad. We have a place known as "The Hill" where less desirable things do take place. Our downtown section is really laid back and relaxing.The people in this town are what I call "good ole country folk". Always ready to help out when the need arises. Always greeting you with a smile and a n old fashioned hand shake or hug.
Downtown AreaRestaurantsSchoolsSingle life
We do not have any huge shopping malls in our area. Most of our shopping is done in small mom and pop stores. We do not even have a Walmart!There is an abundance of places for a person to eat out. Any where from soul food to seafood. There is also an abundance of buffet choices from pizza to seafood.The quality of education in our public schools would be average or maybe a little above average. Our schools offer dual enrollment programs with the local technical colleges where a student could receive college credits while still in high school.There are a few places that a person could go to experience night life but not any very big opportunities here. We do have a huge parish fair every year.
Noisetown comparison vs.Best hospitalTourist attractions
This is one thing that i do like about this rural town. There is an occasional train coming through and the very small airport is out of town. We do have logging trucks and eighteen wheelers come through town often.This is a small town that is very much similar in comparison to the towns close by. This town is located about two hours north of New Orleans.St. Tammany Parish Hospital
Franklinton General Hospital
One of the major attractions is the Franklinton Country Club where a very nice 18 hole golf course can be found. There are also many small creeks and rivers that can be enjoyed by outdoor enthusiasts.
General comments   
I have been located in this town my whole life and i am 50+ years of age. This town would accept me now if i were a stranger to this town. If i were a new comer to this area I would feel more than comfortable.
