"Dirty old town"

No offence to people in Braybrook, but it's the Braybrook of the east, surrounded by industrial estates,

nothing good here

"Happy to call home"

I love living in Pakenham, the majority of people are friendly, no matter of age, sex or nationality and quite often l will find myself chatting with somebody whilst waiting to be served at a local super market. People here tend to look after there own, so locals tend to support local business. Unfortunately new businesses can find it hard to break in to the market, because once folk here have a favourite they remain loyal. There are vast amounts of eating places from take away to the full monty and 70% are reasonably priced. A great place if you have a dog or bike with parks abundant.
There are a number of smaller shopping centres built within housing estates such as lakeside and heritage springs. Whilst these have your basics, supermarket chemist, hot bread, take away and two dollar style shop. They do take traffic from the main shopping centre at market place. Once l may have spent 20 minutes to find a park, now l can find a spot immediately
Perhaps one disappointing trend is the amount of smashed bottles on the ground, nearly everywhere l walk my dog, a bottle has been smashed onto the foot path okay to put that into perspective, if we have a 3km walk, i will noticed 1 or 2 smashed bottles.
Graffiti is fairly minimal, apart from the usual along train line, back of shops and damage to shops seems to happen every 18 months or so when some loony buys a hammer and practises using it on a few shop windows.
I feel completely safe here. Happy to leave the car window down while l pop into the shop, or walk the dog in the early hours when l return home from work and dont feel the need to lock the house when i go to sleep. If l am mowing the front lawn and run out of fuel, l know l can safely leave the mower on the lawn walk to the local servo and it will be there when l come home. Having said that, l have heard of things going missing in the newer estates here.
