"I
really like Easton. It is so easy to get around. It seems like many cool
things come to me! I woke up one Sat. to find a marathon ending in the
park across the street, so I went over to enjoy the booths and soak in
the excitement. BTW, I went to Tara at Suddenly Samantha [great local
hair salon/day spa at Eastonian]. She does great work for a reasonable
price. I also feel very safe here."
