I grew up in Decatur and I still have family there, but it depresses me to see what it has become. It has a high unemployment rate, many business have closed or are run down, and its just an eyesore. SAD!!! Even the mall which was once a good place to go no longer has a bookstore so Decatur doesnt have a lot and if you have a job there consider yourself lucky or you may lose it. I moved away a year ago and Iam married living in Az my husband and I have family there and we knew each other in high school and whats sad is when I call home I hear other cities near Decatur are thriving while Decatur is not growing and losing people its depressed. I wish the economy was like the 70's/ 80's but times have changed and in 50 yrs Decatur has been on a downfall making mistakes in the economy. I wish my hometown luck but its a GHOSTtown!!!
