Life in Altoona

Well here goes...So many people i know or come across in my daily life bitch about living in this town. I have a solution to all your troubles..MOVE.  Haha seriously, everyone always has some lame ass excuse as to why they stay, well fact of the matter is if you are choosing to stay here then you're staying for a reason and that reason should be enough cause for you to shut the hell up n get over it. Let me enlighten you to a few facts about this horrible little place we call home.. #1.. The educational standards of the AASD are some of the highest in the country. is there room for improvement, of course but i feel their doing a pretty damn good job. #2.. Even tho most of you would find it hard to believe, the economy in Blair county is actually doing fairly well compared to most parts of the country. Yes everything is getting more expensive and blah blah blah, but overall as a community we are doing well. #3.. Major crime is significantly lower here than it is in many parts of our country. Yes folks there is crime here, and it seems more of it everyday, but the violent crimes and hardcore crime rate is much lower here, making it a relatively safe place to live....I could go on for days but that is the short version of what i have to say. So to sum up my feelings for the day..if your life is sooo terrible here..there are many roads leading out of this town so cut your ties pack your shit and get the hell out.
