Too bad we don't have a porn industry here, wouldn't be in this mess if we did.

I use to live here in Vallejo, now live in Napa (thank GOD) but I work here every day and I can tell you that this place has been mismanaged for years. Been run by a good old boys network (probably like many cities in the US) and that in combination with loosing our military base (Mare Island Navel Ship Yard) has turned this little town into a dump. IMHO the police deserve every penny they get, this place is scary when the sun goes down and no effort has been made to make the landlords and building owners clean them up and get rid of the bad elements. It is a real shame as this city COULD be really great. Benicia just up the freeway is very prosperous and beautiful. No reason on earth why this city shouldn't be the same.

*sigh*
