The Colony

The Colony is a crummy town, anyway you look at it.
We live next to a greenbelt/utilities corridor and people take their trucks and 4-wheelers out there after it rains to do "donuts" for fun...I'm not talking about teens, GROWN ADULTS!
The town has little money because they have invested poorly, which is made more obvious by the rent-to-own store that went in recently and all the businesses that have shut down.
The streets are falling apart and there are few plans to fix them.
People here don't take pride in their homes, with their fences falling down, their dogs running around the neighborhoods...
There are a couple of neighborhoods that are better, but you still see alot of weird behavior. That could be because of all the liquor stores here. I don't know.
The BIGGIE:
Few people take responsiblity for their own children. Even the daughters of the Christian homeschoolers here wear t-shirts that say "Purity is sexy" across their 12-year-old chests. What the heck is that all about?
The kids who choose to cover their skin with enough clothing, wear black.
It is a very undignified, unsavory place. I have liked every town we have ever lived in, but this one is not so good and we want to leave asap.
