What is life like in Anniston, AL?

We will soon be relocating to Anniston, AL for my husbands work. I am having difficulty finding much online about the city. Hoping to find someone who either lives there or has been there. Is it a safe area? what kinds of things are there for small children to do? we're looking into indian hills apts and shadowood apts.. any opinion on those? thanks so much for your time and help!
