Racist little town - 12/15/2012
Sadly I was born and raised in Troy Al, and I'm happy to report that I moved away 2 weeks after graduating high school. I still visit family there and growing up I knew racism existed. I stop noticing until I got away from it. Troy is void of any tolerance to change and if you are anything other than white, you have very little chance of being successful there. There is nothing to do, which is probably why the teenage pregnancy and crime rates are so high. I would never choose to live in Troy again.

Sorry, Troy sucks. - 8/13/2007
It is very telling, Kenny, that you attack Odysseus personally rather than refute his argument. Whether or not he has a chip on his shoulder, could it be that he is right about Troy?
I came from New Mexico to do a degree at Troy some years ago, and I was there again while travelling to Florida recently, and I'm afraid I agree with Odysseus 100%. Clean air and smiling people do not a good place make. There is precious little to do or see in Troy, and nothing that can't be seen, done, or eaten better elsewhere. I still can't understand what made someone decide to put a university in such a nothing town, and why having a university there hasn't done anything to improve the place. And the university itself is mediocre at best, as any university rankings list will tell you. A look at the crumbling town square will tell you where things are at in Troy. Any town where the thing to do on a Saturday night is to dress up and go to Wal-mart needs help.
Sorry, Kenny; I

Small town life is great! - 7/16/2007
Did you know that Troy has been named the #1 city for clean air by money.cnn.com?
Inspite of “Odysseus’” weak, rambling rant, Troy can be a nice place to live and raise a family. Obviously, this raving liberal lunatic reflects the typical negative, mean-spirited attitude that can unfortunately be found in any town in America. The majority of Troy residents are positive, friendly, easy-going people that work hard, enjoy life, respect their friends, and value their faith. Sure, every city or town could use improvement, but it helps when people actually provide solutions. Not throw stones in glass houses.
Leave it to someone like “Odysseus” to try to impress his cronies via a cynical pen of cheap shots, foolishness and an ill-fated ideology. Maybe “Odysseus” wasn’t called on in school, maybe he got called names on the playground…oh, poor “Odysseus”! He probably just needs some more government entitlements without working hard...that usually will do the

A Despicable, Pathetic Little Town - 6/19/2007
Troy, Alabama is one of the most backward places in the continental United States. It is entirely lacking in cultural and social amenities because the apathetic, ignorant, and inbred redneck population doesn't require anything more than fast food joints and a Wal-Mart. Troy tries to present itself as Norman Rockwell-esque, but it is more like something out of the film "Deliverance." The town is oppressed mightily by a conservative ideology that neglects any sort of social development, largely out of a sad nostaglia for a pre-industrial Civil War culture where everyone lived on a cotton farm and pretended they had morals. Among its biggest problems is a ridiculous proliferation of Baptist churches, all of which have a vested interest in keeping the population simple, stupid and fearful of hellfire damnation. There are no sidewalks in the town because even the toddlers and old ladies drive pick-up trucks, and there are no parks, because the people would probably try to hunt there. Apart
