Walking around New West today

on a hot, sunny day. Man, what a decrepit looking group of folks walking around my neighborhood. Look, I know that New West has a smaller town feel to it which I do like but holy crap, there are a lot of sad looking folks here, people not that old hunched over walkers and canes, faces frozen in pain/unhappiness, folks muttering to themselves, staring off into space. Like an episode of "Walking Dead" in New West on some days. Jesus, blow my brains out before this happens to me!

No matter what they do to it , it will always be a dump. It's got milltown DNA and until they find a way to move the trains and the paper mill out of there it will never be an attractive city

Look up, look around, maybe get downtown, not up. If people are sad, maybe find out what's up, or just go about your day and be happy for them that they made it outside, it's probably hard for them.

Maybe it’s your attitude that makes the city unattractive.
