Instead we drum up the seedier aspects of our city, that truth be told, occur in every larger community around the country and around the world.
Panhandlers.
Old buildings geting knocked over.
Developmentally challenged core areas.
Really, this stuff just happens here? I must have been dreaming in all those other cities I saw the exact same things.
jimj_wpg, you really need to take a vacation and open up your eyes. Or if nothing else, learn how to take a compliment.

Amen, we have a great midsized city. I love this place.
