  • A bit of nostalgia for me--it had everything I loved as a kid. Railroads, telegraph lines, a neat old downtown, and a few other relics that don't exist any more. Of course, in reality, the population has been on the decline for years, corruption is rampant, and crime is above-average compared to the state and nation.
