Oh yes it is ghetto here! I have lived elsewhere and this is the worst town I have ever lived in. I know that there is no perfect town and I will never live in a city. That's the problem with this town, there are too many idiots running around. It makes me sick how many people are living off of government assistance in this town. I am going to be an RN and nurses don't make much here either, so there is no reason whatsoever that I would want to stay here. So you who said the grass is not always greener on the other side...you can have this town. I hope it makes you happy!

What murder/suicide? There are lots of crimes we never hear about. There are too many that are unsolved too. Nevertheless this is mild compared to bigger cities. We can't let this happen to our community, stand up and don't let them win. Silence is the downfall of many neighborhoods.

If you think it's a ghetto here and people are crooks, just move to a big city and you will find this is mild in comparison. Hopefully this will get better. The grass is not always greener on the other side!

I believe our police dept does a great job but citizens have to get involved and provide information on what they see.

Make that seven. . .Someone must have seen the report on television and decided to make it seven armed robberies. . . Hopefully they catch these punks who are a menace to society.

This town is turning into such a ghetto and the people here are the biggest crooks I have ever seen. Thank God I am getting the heck out of here when I graduate college!
