There is a multitude of shopping experiences in Cordova, as long as you have an internet connection. We DO have two grocery stores, a health food store, drug, hardware, liquor and gift stores. All are within walking distance of each other. No formal chapter of the CG Spouses' club. There are both Girl and Boy Scouts and well as numerous civic organizations.
Churches are very active.
If you find yourself with time to volunteer, nobody will turn you away. Both the elementary school and the Christian Center offer pre-school. There is NO movie theater, but there are places to rent movies. This is the most beautiful place that we've ever been. The people are incredibly welcoming and it is a great place to raise children.
