Well, first of all, congrats to me for figuring out how to C&P a link.  (I promise not to abuse my new skill.)  Second, it's not just the story itself that I found interesting, but the "blog" like comments posted after the story.  Marsha, you gotta read this.  Makes some of the blog-wars here at MCS seem like childs play.

The story, and the comments, are eye-opening.  I grew up in that neighborhood.  103rd was a 2-lane road that was travelled mostly by people heading back and forth to Cecil Field, and the locals who lived in the area.  It looked an awful lot like Middleburg back then.  Horses and cows, and open fields.  It doesn't look at all like Middleburg now.  More like the north end of Philips Highway.  It seems to be being taken over by thugs.  Terrorists?  I'll bet you I won't be caught anywhere near that place after dark.  No way., Comments

I hope Clay County never has to experience that kind of crime.  It is scary to imagine.
