My son, yws works in the hotel motel industry here in good Ole
DC. I often hear about who has come from wherever to see the history that used to be here. And, how they felt let down about how it is now. At how amazed they were at just how the city looked! Like a dump! Many have come here from different countries such as; Germany, England, Holland, Norway, and many others countries who still show "Gunsmoke" on a daily basis. They are taken aback at what they see, and what they "SMELL"! Not what they thought at all. Many left with questions as to how this could have happened? And left with a lot less favorable thoughts about Dodge then when they came here.
What I would like to know is, what those who came up with this "Our Community" stuff, what were they on, cause I want some, to see what they said was here???? Quite a few "Visitors" after getting off of the TROLLEY, took cars they had, and went thru Dodge that was NOT on the trolley route! And were sickened by what they saw, smelled and heard! One thing is for certain, most visitors left without the lofty thoughts that were advertised and an utter amazement at how things in Dodge City really were! Certainly not what had been "advertised"! How sad it now is, for a City that at one time, had HONOR! Not anymore!
