Avenues Resident: "I know we are not the correct 'flavor'"

[Kitty]

Another good letter in today's HA (http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060718/OPINION03/607180338/1014/OPINION)

I'm not sure what the correct "flavor" is, but I'm sort of a pistachio with Crushed butterfinger topping.

And whipped cream.....lots & lots of whipped cream....yeah!

Wow... and from someone not even originally from this area and he has the mental capacity to see that something's not right here. Makes me wonder why so many who've lived here for years (or even all their lives) are so complacent about the things going on.

I make it a general point not to go to Jackson anymore but recently, while passing through, I was shocked at how dirty and unkempt the place looks. I wondered if Hattiesburg will look the same way in a few years. I still have hope for Hattiesburg - for now anyway.

It's really kind of sad that now we have out of town transplant (no offense intended) residents now getting their opinions on this matter out ... and isn't it hilarious that they feel just like we do????? Maybe it's NOT a conspiracy ....

Good letter. If enough of them are printed maybe one day the city's admin will realize that not everybody is happy with the way things are going. As a matter of fact, there's probably a majority of people who are not happy with the way things are going.

Yes Wilebile, PROBABLY MORE than 61%!
