For a city with so few people, there seems to be a shocking amount of litter lining the streets! Were there even any operating businesses other than a couple of gas stations? Wow. Where's the good part of town?

@MooPotPie There really is no "good part of town". It's sad. Thanks very much for watching. Happy 2012 to you!

I hate living next to that place, it used to be such a beautiful city but look now it is over run with poverty, crime, gangs, and decay. such a waste

[Ucster]

@physilcybe4me You're right. It is a shame. Thanks for watching and best wishes.

@soln4suhreborn The house at 3025 Waverly is still there. I grabbed a couple of photos today. If you'd like to see them let me know and I'll get them to you. Thanks.
