Part of the problem with Dodge, in my opinion, is that we don't have much to offer people my age. We have bars and movies, but the movies are often second-rate or worse. I like the bars I've visited, but I wish Dodge had something more to offer — a decent bookstore, a better mall, more than one theater company, etc. All 4 Fun would be an OK start if it succeeds, but we need more.
Honestly, if it weren't for my job, I suspect I would have left Dodge long before now. |
Quietly,
You've brought up a good point! And to answer your question I'd say yes!
Since the city is funding ALL 4 FUN, are you implying the city should get into business to meet the needs of every age group?
I'm in my late 40's now, but I do remember my 20's and 30's. I think there are alot of people just like you in Dodge. Outside of work there seems to be little to keep people from moving away. It may be even more difficult for our single people than the married.
The interesting thing about your comment is that I hear people in cities larger than Dodge saying the same thing. I think of K.C. or Wichita for example, I ask myself how can people not find something to do in a town of that size?
I wonder if people from towns smaller than Dodge say and think the same thoughts about us?
