I lived in Cole and loved the lakeshore area. I enjoy more of a laid back atmosphere and that area was perfect for me. My friend, who also lived in Cole, is more outgoing, more social, and enjoyed partying more. He liked it there, but if he had to do it over again he certainly would have chosen southeast. I also met my wife in Cole so maybe that introduces a little bias into my recollection. Congrats T-Bone, what an exciting time for you. You made an excellent choice!!
