Beautiful Year Round Home or Get-A-Way Location. The house is located in Scales Mound, IL. This town has been described by my friends as a Norman Rockwell town. You can walk to the grocery store, walk to the bank where they know your name, walk to the post office, eat out, get the car fixed or fill with gas, walk to school or to the park, stress free no traffic jams. There is a playground in the park, opportunity to play on softball, baseball, volleyball teams in town, card groups, a workout center, and meeting hall for reunions, meetings, cerebrations or events. There are modern conveniences too, like digital cable and DSL, top 10 rated in quality medical facilities in Dubuque thirty minutes away and a new state of the art hospital being built in Galena. Shopping in Galena and Dubuque, fly out of the Rockford or Dubuque airports. This location offered me a lower cost of living and higher quality of life compared to major metropolis. Great place to retire, start a family or raise a family. I moved there for the safety and scenery, from Galena you can travel the Historic Stage Trail, which is beautiful all year round. Work in Dubuque, Galena, or Freeport area, skilled, professional, education, or medical jobs exist.
