there's alot of locals up here that feel the same way. he town is literally dying. Never seen so many commercial places for lease... and i too have lived here 20 yrs...

the snow, or lack thereof, is creepy, it was almost 60 today! At this rate, i'd be happy to just skip fwd to summer, but that's me, i am a snow-phobe, lol

i have a lot of friends who are losing work because of the weather and economy here too. what's weird, is that last year, we got SLAMMED and were still dealing with snow in JUNE... it's as if the year-wheel is off kilter and the winter is now from feb-june :nuts:
