Bridgewater Nova Scotia - Dirty Old Town

Bridgewater Nova Scotia - Dirty Old Town

A tribute to the Town I once called home. Scandal, Corruption and Back Door Politics have rocked the Town and destroyed a once nice place to live.
It truly is a "Dirty Old Town" ran by Dirty old Crooks!

@incognito84 probably wasn't really the "TOB", most of the original guys are long gone, now just random punks that think there hard, go around spray painting/ smashing stuff but not a real gang just restless kids

You can't expect to leave the town in the hands of the same 50-, 60-, and 70-year old decision-makers and for things to get better. Again - insanity. It takes new blood, new ideas, people that actually want to see the town get better, to get in there and have a voice, have a say in where the money gets spent, be tapped into the pulse of the community, understand what the youth are craving and toss them a bone, and who knows, maybe some of the good ones will stay past 16, 17, or 18. Just sayin'.

Albert Einstein is famously attributed as defining insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results". I acknowledge that much of the time, I'm bored living in Bridgewater. At 27, my options are somewhat limited. I don't go to the bars every weekend because bar crowds are bored drunken idiots. But rather than just up and leave, I would much rather stay, get involved, and try to y'know, make things better. That's how improvement happens, if you really want it.

Bridgewater is not a town for young people - it's boring as hell. There's no getting around it. And it's not as if people don't know it. People are intentionally ignorant of it, and yes, that's wrong. More should be done to keep the youth in small Maritime communities, and to keep them out of drugs and alcohol, and gang activities. It's undeniable that it exists. Yet not enough youth are willing to stick around long enough to enact any CHANGE, they just want to leave at the first opportunity.

Speaking as someone who has lived in Bridgewater for over twenty years off-and-on, who left and did the school thing in the big city, then left the province entirely to do more, I come back to my hometown and see it for what it is - another town in a long line of towns just trying to make it in a world that passed it by in the 90's.

I think most everyone of a certain generation (let's say from the 60's onward) who grew up in a small town that didn't really cater to them, holds some sort of animosity towards the place they grew up. Many who grew up and "couldn't wait to get out", who felt that they were "too good for their hometown", should try to be a little less self-righteous.

Welcome to 21st-Century Capitalism, enjoy your stay. There's corruption all over the place, it sure as hell isn't just Bridgewater. Halifax is corrupt as shit, for example.

Bridgewater suffers from the same identity crisis as virtually every Maritime community. It markets itself as a retirement community, but ponders why it can't keep youth (and why the ones who remain are so disenfranchised). Yet Bridgewater somehow manages to be one community to show economic and population growth.
