I haven't read the 22 pages of comments, but here goes.
In my hometown of Des Moines, Iowa, a large grocery store was finally built in a rough neighborhood. At first, everybody rejoiced because they didn't have to travel far to get food. In a very short time, a matter of a couple years, this place went from a nice grocery store to a place were criminals did their business. The store was robbed many times, drug dealers hung around the place, prostitution was a problem, etc. The police tried doing what they could, but in a neighborhood already struggling with where to put their police assets, they couldn't do much. The store was only there for about 2-3 years.

Des Moines has bad neighborhoods?  All this time, I thought of it as a small tight knit city. LOL  |
