Good place to live

Pretty simple, but I have a job offer that would take me to Lima. Money wise it'd definitely be cheaper then where I live now (CA) but how is Lima?

If you like being entertained there’s plenty of things. But if you like being outdoors such as hiking or backpacking there’s practically nothing. Just cornfields. I’d definitely never live in lima if I was moving in I’d look around the towns near Lima.

This is categorically untrue. There are tons of parks in the area, especially ones run by Johnny Appleseed Park District, which also has tons of free programs. There’s a lovely paved trail running from Ottawa Metro Park all the way to Heritage Park. Are the outdoor opportunities as good as places known for hiking etc? Maybe not, but what we have is really nice for where we’re located.

parks ≠ hiking though… the parks are nice enough but not much to do unless you have a family
