Exton is the place where I wish I could have grow up, it has the most beautiful fall I have ever seen, You wouldn't imagine all the the contrasts of colors you can see in nature. It makes me feel alive every morning and at the end of the day, the sky says goodbye to me with beautiful shades of pink, orange and blue. But sincerely, my most cherished aspect of Exton is the people who live here. It is such a precious places with such beautiful people.

I like how Exton has many stores and restaurants. Everything is a short drive a way from each other so it's nice to not have to drive far distances to go shopping to eat out somewhere. It's also a very safe place. I would change the mall and add more stores.
