It was a good place, once.
Maybe that was part of the problem? Economic prosperity and kindness of the populace attracted the Alinskyites and moochers?
I escaped in 1978. I’ve been trying to get remaining family to move ever since.
I have to admit, it was such a wonderful place to grow up back then. It’s like another planet now. My siblings and I used to catch the bus downtown as 11 and 12 year olds to wander around the Midtown mall. I won’t even DRIVE within 10 miles of downtown now.
