The city's strategic location along U.S. Routes 1, 15, 421, and 501 provides easy access to surrounding areas while maintaining a distinct community atmosphere. Local attractions include the historic Temple Theatre, which presents live performances throughout the year, and the Railroad House Museum, which preserves the area's transportation heritage. Kiwanis Family Park offers walking trails, playgrounds, and sports facilities for outdoor recreation.
