Brighton is such a fun city that I almost couldn’t handle my responsibilities while living there. The beach is awesome and you can get all kinds of delectable treats while on it. The art district is also something to view. The people are all fast moving and about their business.
The best thing about Brighton is the night life. Going downtown to get a drink with friends takes on a more fun and adult type of energy. There are many stores to go to and they have some of the best brand names in the area. Overall Brighton is a great place to unwind and to have fun, especially the beach. Read Less
