Ashtabula Potential - 8/13/2009

However when one walks or drives through the city, it seems as though the inhabitants have become less than mediocre in their keeping up with the rest of the country. This shows in the care taken of the roads, buildings, and the general attitude of the city dwellers.
Ashtabula has the potential to become great again. There needs to be a change in mindset, great leadership, and some money. The frame of the city is thee- it needs to be filled.[read more...] |

Armpit of America - 5/12/2008
This is a nowhere town. No businesses can make it here - everything is closed up. The job situation is terrible. The schools are worse. I can't wait to get out. Needs some good government - someone who knows what they're doing. The houses are mostly crap in town, falling apart, boarded up... The neighborhoods are scary!! The winters are despressing - making suicide rates high, and summers are short and humid. Believe me, you don't want to live here.[read more...] |
