Thats it...F#ck Harrisonburg

I've been living amongst the JMU community for 6 years now (1 year in eagle, 2 years in prun, 1 year in dogwood commons and 2 years in squire) and I'll admit aspects of it have certaintly gone downhill. JMU's drive to go Division I-A has caused an pretty drastic increase in the number of people in a short period of time. It stands to reason that as newer/nicer appt complexes are built the more well-to-do students are going to move towards those while more townies and such are moving into the cheaper/older units. It seems to me that there really isn't any more gang violence/disorderly conduct/mayhem going on in hburg than there ever was, it's just becoming more localized to what has always been "JMU Territory", namely hunters ridge, ashby, commons, devon lane, etc.

I haven't had the greatest luck with automobiles here, supra was hit in prun, truck totaled in squire, supra hit in squire, and now I guess I'm on the countdown for the vette to get hit.
