Communities

Unfortunately, the community is split a few ways, so people really only talk to those in their community, taking away much interaction.
Being that the size of my town is so small, one would think that the community is more connected. Naturally, the only wide-spread apparition within a small town is the want to grow. Key locations are hard to find as well, as the each person has its own tastes. you are most likely to find people at one of our restaurants and, of course, the town hall. The most common discussion you will find is that of getting a high school, as the middle and high is cramped into a middle school building.
Zimmerman was originally built around a man-made lake, so it has always been small. Of course now that the population has doubled a couple of times, the need for a larger town is becoming more imminent. back in the 90's, everyone wanted a middle / high school so they would not have to send their children to Elk River or Princeton. Now they are vying for a high school, as once mentioned.
Our 'sources' of info involve giving us wonderful rumours that you will never know whether or not they are true. The go-to person for those? Just about every person in town, sadly enough.
The moment you step foot in town the hic-ness almost suffocates you. Although the population is a very mixed bag, the town itself screams hic.
