when I moved to the town(after the birth of our first child) it was to escape the prying eyes of the locals, and there arms of control. back then 1981, there was a town population of 1200 counting the dogs and cats, we had a total of three cops,(hell I use to make fun and call the chief of police Andy Taylor cause he didn't even carry a gun) and two cop cars. traffic court was once a month, on the first tues. we didn't have a jail, and after five pm the cops radios were switched over to the county dispatcher for the night shift. we now have at least dozen cops and who knows how many cars. I just wanted to let my kids grow up in a safe place. it has been so far, but things are a changen quick,fast,in a hurry.last year we had our first murder in 15 yrs.some old fart went to K.C. and brought home a crack whore. he's dead she's in jail.
