    My opinions are mixed. I like living here in general. I don’t like the extremely rapid transformation of Benton & Washington counties into a vast sea of urban/suburban sprawl.

    We also have tons of serious social problems that get very neatly painted over by the relentless construction and “newness”.

    I’m sure when Tom and Steuart have spent hundreds of millions of Jim’s money to transform this area into the “biking capital of the world”, all our problems will be solved. …ha ha.

      They’ve basically demolished everything in my hometown to make room for more interstate or something. People there have gone to shit too. I don’t have many positive experiences lately, but I’m working a lot harder on not letting so much shit get to me
