"village" isn't exactly appropriate. We're in the middle of nowhere (in city slicker terms anyways...30 miles to another city of comparable size to ours) and we're off a population high of about 16,000 so many years ago.
Anyway, last picture of this set for y'all. I'll try to find that better shot of downtown...

Barf @ boring cities in the middle of a desert, allowing citizens to con themselves into thinking they're environmentally friendly when, in fact, the cities look like that due to a lack of usable space.

If that's a potshot at me  , that it makes you look really foolish considering the fact that I've posted a pic of my city ( gotta love that "green hill overlooking the blue sea" desert   )
We have some disgusting suburbs ala N.america, too, and my family could've afforded a house, too, but the government usually regulates against them, and the people don't like them too much, since they make for an insane commute.
So, basically....you're beaten on all accounts.

Welcome to the home of Walmart |
If you want to resurrect that thread, you can, but Wal Mart was not a major cause for cause for this disrepair, trust me, it was going to happen anyways.
Family run businesses close up as the owners get old...
Other major stores whose names aren't Wal Mart move out of downtown and into other shopping centers...
Population decline...
Neglect on the part of the owners of the property...
Some people pin the problem on our elected officials, but in and of itself the following kind of feeling does nothing to improve the city...just down the road from this picture, largely driven by the mayor we're building a river walk with pretty scenery, a new boat ramp, the works...

The Abbey Mills Pumping Station, Stratford, E15
quote:
The building was designed by Joseph Bazalgette and completed in 1868. When built it had two tall and ornate chimneys either side of it, but during the second world war these were demolished, as they were an easily recognised landmark for German bombers on raids over the London docks (the original steam engines had by this time been replaced by electic motors anyway). The building has recently undergone restoration work and can be seen from the Greenway pathway south of Stratford High Street. |
and Chaucer knew of Stratford too:
quote:
Ther was also a nonne, a prioresse,
That of hir smylyng was ful symple and coy;
Hire gretteste ooth was but by seinte loy;
And she was cleped madame eglentyne.
Ful weel she soong the service dyvyne,Entuned in hir nose ful semely,
And frenssh she spak ful faire and fetisly, After the scole of stratford atte bowe,
For frenssh of parys was to hire unknowe.
