Default Waterloo

I've lived in Waterloo for the past 23 years. There is a lot of diversity for the size of the town is it, and very blue collar. Big John Deere plant that really is the big money maker for the town. Entertainment wise, you get what get with a town that only has 68,000 people. It's not that bad, just like every city it has it's hot spots, are things getting better..don't think so, are things getting worse...don't think so, everything just kind of stays the same and it seems like people are content with that.

Diverse for sure - blacks and bosnians to be exact. Most of the blacks live on the East side. As for hot spots in the loo - I'm not aware of these, there really is no entertainment areas I recollect.

It's really not that bad of an area as many like to exaggerate, however - if I were to ever move back I would HAVE to live in a surrounding community or rural area. The town is too dirty for me!!!!!! Why can't they clean it up!?
