I often just dive in and play, so I can't say about the entire town. I played a private eye extensively in Twinbrook and had a really great time with that. The firehouse is also really nice, even compared to those in other towns, if you are starting on an empty lot and can't afford much. Interesting families? The Rackets are everywhere (and there are so many of them!) They're like nasty Bunches. Sinbad Rotter is quite the character, too. There's also several eccentric (like, really eccentric, not with the trait Eccentric) older ladies in this town that liven things up a bit: Anna Liza Riddle and the Pidgins come to mind right away.
