Bwah ha ha ha!!!! -
9/27/2008Did you see that percentage of republicans to democrats?!?! If anything should speak about the open-mindedness and culture of this city it's that. Really?! This country is riding on a Bush-shaped turd down the toilet and that many people still claim republican? Whew... that one really gave me the giggles!

the weather pretty much sucks -
9/27/2008I've lived in this area for about 22 years, and I have to say the weather is one of the main reasons I'm leaving. The winters are horrible! We get a ton of snow, and it gets bitterly cold. The best time of year is summer and early fall. There's really only good weather here for about 4 or 5 months out of the year, but granted I don't like cold. Maybe if you enjoy a good romp in the snow this is your place. Maybe not though, because the summers get to be pretty hot and humid. Usually in the high 80's and 90's, and very muggy most of the time.

outlook not good -
7/23/2008Major life line factories in this town are laying off big time. I know the unemployment rate is much higher than listed, because hundreds of people are being laid off or fired within the last year. This town is not doing well at all. You used to be able to get decent pay and a good amount of hours here, but lately people have been demoted or they've had their hours at work cut a great deal. It's really affecting everyone at this point. It seems that everyone knows at least one person that has lost their job recently, and in a small town like this people talk. Decatur used to seem like it was growing, but with the economy going down the toilet everywhere it's hitting here pretty hard.

Recreation? -
7/23/2008I've lived in Decatur for about 20 years, and there's pretty much nothing to do. Especially for young people.
Most high school students find recreation with reproducing and drinking and doing drugs. This town is wound so tight there's not even a theatre or arcade or any place of that type for kids to go. There's a few bland sit down restaurants, and some fast food.
