Then perhaps you remember that the cleaned up Grant Ave by getting rid of all the crappy trailer parks?
They cleaned up just about ALL the crappy trailer parks and started condemming OLD delapidated houses and trailers that are/were unfit for living. The Dept of Defense was pretty clear to the Chamber of Commerce and the big wheels of JC to get thier act together this time around if they want keep the Big Red One when it get restationed here. The town and the people that run it have responded with allot more industry and over 8000 new living units, houses and apt buildings, and like I mentioned they are building more and more everyday and the longterm goal is for Junction City to DOUBLE in size. I know the School District here is looking to ADD 800 to 1,300 new students by 2008/09 school year. 500 of those by next year alone 06/07 school year.
I guess if you could drive by now you would see a WHOLE different town compared to what you saw in 02/03.
We got resteraunts opening all over and more on the way in. Jim Clark moved most of his business out on I70. City Cycle Sales moved out on I70 into a state of the art Harley Davidson showroom and maintenance center.
I know it don't mean jack shit to you but as a life long resident I resent anyone talking shit without seeing first hand what is going on right now.
BTW I see you are from SouthWest Kansas. I went to Dodge City Commuinty College 20+ years ago and I was pretty UNIMPRESSED with the whole area. (Dodge City, Great Bend, Garden City, Syracuse and even Hays) Talk about being in HELL.
