As I drove thru town today what I saw really bothered me. I guess I am some fruit loop wanting things to be the way they once were. I saw so many empty buildings. But the life we all live doesnt have time for the little things anymore. Convenience is at our fingertips and can be delivered straight to our door. The same as talk who talks anymore? I remember when texting became cool. I thought I wont do that if someone wants me they can call me. Well long story short I am now a texter. I just wish our town was the same thriving little town I hear about from back when. I loved walking from the middle school down to Shirleys to eat before ball games and stopping in at the little store beside of it to get me some candy and Mr Benton bagging it up for me. The parking meter man was a busy man too. The court house was always packed with people trying to get the latest scoop. But now, it is a ghost town. I miss getting my shirts monogrammed at Alexanders. I miss just having small town America. I wish we could all get together and make this town fun fun fun! And that we didnt have to wait until the end of September to do it. My wish is that we had something going on every weekend and we were all out and about being a community. I think the drug dealers have had enough of our towns attention. I would like to see more good things happening! That is all.
