main reason I love this town is the house I grew up in. When I was four my family moved to Amherst from Georgia. We stayed in a little house and then a couple months later moved into the house I live in now. It is a large old house that sits adjacent to a farm‚ a forest and a street.

Especially the farm and forest. My brothers
