Nothing to disagree about Guido...as you grew up there I would expect you to know more of what the deal is for how much longer it's been happening. I'm an outsider looking in and that's just what I've seen since the late '80's. The road to recovery is a long one, but it's definitley doable!!
Good morning Metalheads 
Hi Bev and Joe!!

It IS getting better, though. I love the city and will defend it to the death. It IS Hockeytown, USA even if people can't afford tickets. Ignorant dolt, anyone who could think otherwise. Never been here.

They moved to this area to stay temporaliy with a couple of "friends" and the friends turned them out quickly as they didn't get jobs off the bat.

Too bad there aren't more ppl orgs to help out the truly needy...I know that there are a lot, but there's even more families in trouble...a viscious cycle!!

They moved to this area to stay temporaliy with a couple of "friends" and the friends turned them out quickly as they didn't get jobs off the bat. Had CASE not helped them they would have been homeless. But due to Zella stepping in and helping them they will have an apartment at the beginng of next week and My facility hired Moma and the Dad already has a job.

It's sad, but do these people try to do anything to improve their condition? I should shut up as that could be me with just a couple missed paychecks.
