Shrewsbury has created an amazing life for me so far. i never have to feel endangered and there is so much to do that I can enjoy myself. I live in a safe neighborhood so as a kid I was able to go to my friends' houses and play in the yard without any worry. More recently, Shrewsbury has grown a lot and become a more popular town along interstate 83. Now that I can drive, I am able to go out to eat at many different restaurants and fast food places. There are also many places to become employed and some are unique. It really is the perfect place to grow up in.

It started getting too overpopulated way too fast. Tress cut down and whole shopping centers put up. Doesn't feel much like country life anymore.
