Reality Check

The city that once used to be the All American City, is now a city with foreclosed homes litter through out neighborhoods, a crime rate that rivals cities three or four times its size. We have revitalized our downtown area, but no one wants to go there, we have built a beautiful Marina--but have no boats to fill it, we have invested millions on an Arena, Movie theater, and placed video cameras on almost every downtown corner, however there is no reduction in crime. We have city leaders that seem to want to lead, but just cannot seem to grasp how to run a city. Both the Fire Department, and the Police Department are taking a beating from the budget crisis. Tonight a man walks into Saint Josephs hospital talking, but later dies--another murder to add to our already high murder rate.
