Is just amazing because you have to be spectacularly useless to fail in the Huntsville Metro area.

i went back about 5 years ago to show my wife her house and for the first time in my life i was afraid to get out of my car to walk over to the house.

Really sad to see how far down that town has gone in the last 30 years.

Losing State Farm cost 1200 middle class jobs. Losing the GM plant cost 1000 middle class jobs. For a town of about 40K with a small middle class (Monroe is about 25% old money wealthy, about 60% dirt poor existing on government support, and about 15% middle class), those were brutal blows.

Throw in the added factors like the overwhelming majority of smart young people moving away and the only people moving to Monroe in the past 30 years being about 5K Katrina evacuees who were dropped and forgotten, along with a corrupt government, and you’ve got what you see.

And I can hear some culcha celebration for being on the list from over here

Funroe and Anniston represent!

would honestly hate to see it go but they fired my best friend (VP of investor relations for like the last 20 years) because century is a shitty employer.

Also heard they are a shitty company to work for.

Also heard they will move to Denver at any moment. People are bracing themselves.

add the flood from a couple years back and the shitty way people who were told they didnt need flood insurance were treated by the government (non whites, lets just be honest) and it was like they were trying to accelerate the descent into hell for that poor town.

let's penalize the few middle class who were still working hard to survive so they'll give up and leave.

i had a friend who was treated like frick by century after his house flooded (was in a so-called flood-free zone) and they refused to even let him work from home while he was trying to get back on his feet and eventually he lost both his home and his job. shitty situation for him and he's one of the hardest working people i know. he didn't deserve what happened to him.

A kid I ref soccer with needed a ride home after our games. Really good and hardworking kid just trying to make some extra cash the right way so I'll help him out any way I can

2 neighborhoods in funroe are not the whole district

You could live in Monroe your entire life and not even know these 2 neighborhoods exist. The only reason the average person in Monroe would know Texas Ave is because its an exit off i20. Most areas of Monroe are perfectly fine.
