I am considering moving to Modesto this winter, I've been living in a small town in Alaska for the past 4 years.

Obviously I expect the vibe to be a lot different from here, but still - is it pretty friendly and welcoming or more like big city vibe and everyone in their small groups? I've got no one even close to Cali so don't wanna get too lonely there.
The next logical question from me, how the weather feels in summers? Are you comfortable walking outside during the day or you kind of stay attached to AC all the time to survive?
And following that - do you have any decent parks or hikes near the city?
Would you consider Modesto pretty safe city? Any nightlife?

Any other thoughts or things to consider about Modesto would be appreciated. 22M
