Siegel schools are decent these days with low crime on the north side . Buuuut , be prepared for some rebellious teenage years or some solitude from him . There ' s exactly jack shit for young people to do here that doesnt require much money . Really though , the traffic is awful and the whole town is under construction . The people are okay . The city govt doesn ' t give many shits about local business or having culture so we have 6 Wal Mart and precisely 10000 banks , drug stores , and tobaccobeer outlets and half the town square could be out of business at any time . Really nice . Just saying , I ' ve lived here a while and all the cooler points of Murfreesboro pretty much dry up after 5 years . I hate that I grew up here . Give me Chattanooga , Knoxville , Johnson City any day . Maybe Nashville . But Nash is weird now .
