I read one of the comments -- "It is very quiet"!!!!!!! IT IS??? I would like to know exactly WHERE this person lives to say this! I had to move out of Quincy, after living there most of my life, because ALL the open spaces that are left there have been bought out and there is nothing there now but HORRIBLE bumper to bumper traffic, HUGE high rises where there used to be wonderful homes (I know, I was a victim of this buyout) and just in general too many people and not enough places to put them! The crime in Quincy has gone WAY up as well! Take it from me, I used to live there and I know what I'm talking about!
