Cheers to you as well, neighbor.

You’re not wrong about the local government, but at least from what I’ve seen, those moves you’re referring to (particularly the gun show business) made a lot of people very displeased. So, though these people may have gained office through whatever means, I haven’t experienced a lot of support of those actions from the average person.

When I moved here several years back, I moved right into the crossroads of the two main arteries of the east side…. I found many of the views there to be uninformed, but again, most were still willing to talk with an open mind.

I now live in a different kind of Crossroads (hint hint), and it’s pretty much all like minded individuals. I have hope for this city and county.

Thanks for you perspective as well fren, and have a safe, happy New Year.
