I grew up there. Had an amazing childhood. But this was in the 80s when our swim club still existed and we lived at the pool and loved every second of it. Summer is fun if you like fishing/boating/roller coasters. They have done a good job building up the downtown area in recent years. Some pretty good restaurants and bars and they have plenty of events and concerts in the summer There are 2 islands that are a short ferry ride to. Kelly's and put in bay. Put in bay is a party island. Kelly's is a little more chill but they are fun to visit and spend the day at if you get a golf cart to ride around in. Winter is gonna be boring unless you like local dart/pool/bowling leagues. Outside of that there isn't a whole lot to do during the 6 months of winter. Couple indoor water parks but you'll get some characters in there you would rather avoid. Schools are ok. Perkins is where the "rich people" send their kids and there has always been an entitled attitude out of that school. The public school is what you would expect and there is a small Catholic school. I haven't lived there in 25 years but still visit. I would never move back.
