Yeah, I used to work in the city. I don't anymore, and I'm glad.

In fact, I don't go downtown anymore for anything, ever. Can't remember the last time I was there. I just don't think that it's safe.

After losing a lot of industry (textiles), GSO's downtown tried to recover maybe 10 years or so ago by appealing to a younger, upper-scale crowd. Lots of bars, restaurants, theater, clubs, etc etc etc.

Eventually the "youths" in this article moved in, and brought their violence with them.

People that I work with used to go downtown for the clubs, etc, all the time. Now, they go elsewhere. GSO is at the beginning of a rapid downhill slide, IMO. I give it 5-6 years, maybe less.

Actually, LOL, I just rememebered the last time I was downtown. It was for a Tea Party at the courthouse. :-)

There weren't nearly as many arrests or shootings at it, as there were last night. More people too. :-)
