Williamsburg, VA
Life here -
6/26/2005Williamsburg is a small, conservative town with a high upper-class population. It is a good place to raise children, yes, but once they get into high school, they get bored of the small town vibe with nothing to do and thus, some of them DO turn to drugs. A surprising number of kids have overdosed. Parents have to realize that here, without anywhere to go but a 24/7 WalMart, kids are going to get restless.
It is a pretty area and pleasant to visit. However, for those of us living here, the changes and accomodations made for tourists are quite staggering; shopping malls keep sprouting per year with even more housing developments following. Pretty soon, there won't be any room left for the townies or for the new people moving in. Lots of deer accidents, too.
