"Here rest the remains of Elizabeth Poole, a native of Old England, of good family, friends, and prospects, all which she left in the prime of her life, to enjoy the religion of her conscience, in this distant wilderness; a great proprietor of the township of Taunton..." - (Headstone of Elizabeth Poole)
When Elizabeth Poole left England in the early 1600s, she must have known she was a pioneer. However, she might not have known she would go down in history as the first woman to settle a town in the New World, making a name for women before feminism! Maybe she would have been a little less eager if she had known that mobster and career criminal Gordon OBrien would hail from Taunton as his hometown, and she might not have approved of the city providing the setting for the film Shutter Island, but certainly she would have been pleased by Tauntons more reputable characters poet Laureate Joseph Gouveia, Stephanie Cutter, Deputy Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama, and American Idol contestant Nicholas Pedro.

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Taunton renters. They`re typically a beautiful addition to your space. They’re also easier to clean and sweep, particularly if you have pets.
However, there are some downsides. Hardwood floors carry sounds. They can also make your apartment noisy for your roommates and downstairs neighbors.
Ask the landlord or property manager about the hardwood floors before signing a lease. Are they actually hardwood or a popular composite alternative? The latter is probably easier to clean and care for than the real thing.
It’s also important to ask about who’s responsible for any damage to the floors and what that entails. Your security deposit could take a hit from scratches, dents, and other damage.
Consider the type of climate you live in. Hardwood floors typically don’t fare well in damp climates full of moisture. Stains and buckling are common in hardwood floors after rain flooding or excessive moisture.
However, hardwood floors can be ideal for dry climates or sunny areas for renters who love the way they look.
