What kills me is when there is a black person in Prescott (rare, as the black population is less than .5%), yet when they walk into a Costco or some store, people stare like they never seen a black person before. Usually the old retiree's from The Ranch at Prescott or the hillbillies from Dewey or Mayer are the ones who stare.
What I also hate is when I run into people I work with, while I am off work, due to this town being so small. Can't even go to the store without seeing someone I don't want to see. Forget Gateway Mall, lame and old. On my days off I just hit the road to Phoenix and add to the carbon footprint by burning 200 miles worth of fuel. One needs to getaway from Prescott, as the town starts to close in on you.
I hate the lack of diversity here, the way people stare, the lack of shops, restaurants, things to do, etc. Whiskey Row - that got lame and played out within 1 week. It's a tourist trap. Parking around the Courthouse is ridiculous and the Prescott parking Nazi's come out ticketing people.
OK, I am done ranting...  |
What I just bolded applies to any small city-----------not just Prescott.
