It is rather humorous that a local celebrity (stay tuned for the introduction of the Waldoid here in the coming weeks) made a post today about why some towns suck. Was he stating that C-Ville sucks? Perhaps he was. The post listed:

  1. “Homes from the 400s!�
  2. highway noise walls
  3. neighborhood locations described in terms of highway exits
  4. “traffic and weather together on the 8s�
  5. Fuddruckers

I guess that was referring to the village, since this is what I was thinking just a few moments ago:

  1. average home price is $277k
  2. cement walls along the 250 bypass shield noise
  3. housing now advertises proximity to I-64
  4. live news on the web, on your cellphone, or on TV at 5AM, noon, 5pm, 6pm, 7pm, 10pm, and 11pm
  5. Applebee’s

I didn’t know Waldo thought C-Ville sucked. Perhaps this would have been a better list*:

  1. No HDTV.
  2. Movie theaters from the 70’s with sticky floors, stained screens, and the smell of urine.
  3. Cashiers at all retail establishments with missing teeth and undecipherable accents.
  4. The local wannabee’s describe it as ‘progressive.’
  5. Smoking is worshipped as a civil right.

Now it is time to start listening to stories about shutting down a mall for six hours due to a bomber/hostage-taking/gun-toting dude. Does that mean the village sucks? Maybe I should just go listent to the update on the soccer coach of the JV girls team who will be going to trial for child porn possession.
