Is Mount Vernon "just" another small town?

[crystal-sea]

hmmmm, last I heard Mount Vernon was a little church on 39th and prospect. really.

ive been through Mt. Vernon hundreds of times over the last 15 years. Honestly i've never been terribly impressed with the town. One thing I witnessed in particular is a rowdy fight at the sonic drive in among a bunch of scrungy looking locals. Im sure it's not the worst town the the region but I don't see anything spectacular about it.

Yeah, I am sure that as a Pagan, you would know oh so much about the churches. Very tolerant of you. NOT!!

Guess what been in churches till i was 18 years old, they are all a bunch of hypocrites, and liars, just trying to line thier pockets with the money of the poor, sick, and less fortunate. They say they are all God Fearing and all that, but yet they all engage in illegal activities, have thier hands in the local government, when thier own "saviour" says to be no part of this world, I.E not being involved with the governments, but living by thier rules. think about it, and if your wanting to start a flame war, think again i have better to do than fight over the internet.

I've been searching for a place to move and doing a lot of research, most towns with a population of 300 will usually have at least one if not two.

that is not 100% true,they lived here they just didnt register, and they still live here, you might want to check your data again.

maybe if the people here were more open to change and actually had something for the teens to do instead of opening up a bunch of places and then taking it away. all your doing is creating more crap for everyone to deal with, there isn't even a arcade here anymore and that atleast kept people occupied, but our crime is up now from lack of entertainment, who wants to sit in their house and watch movies all night, cuz thats all there is to do here in this town. give us atleast a an arcade or bowling alley? something geesh.

I think we need something in our town because I'm a teenager and i get very bored! Mt. Vernon is a great town besides the lacking of fun.

Hey guys - I will be moving to town shortly. I realize that kids/teens in a small town need something to do or they find other things. I was one of them...it is absolutely imperative to find ones niche. What are most kids interested in there? Skateboards? Music? Dance? Thanks for your input and I look forward to getting some form of entertainment there soon!
