Mixed Bag.

7/20/2008
A city at odds with itself. Beautiful rustic spots mixed with urban blight. You want this city to succeed because of it's proud, hard working citizens. However, the city has an insular nature that may be contributing to it's shortcomings. Poor urban planning and graft have marred some previously bucolic areas such as the once majestic high school. It is a mixed bag: no industry, swampy housing developments, abandoned railroads, limited retail and an ill advised prison contrast a lovely city college, a thriving hospital, an active airport and a local golf course.
