certainly not a wonderful tourist destination, but i decided to visit anyway, because i enjoy cities in general. some of the downtown areas have some beautiful graffiti and murals. i worked on a habitat for humanity house for one day while i was there, and it seems the area has a lot of charities at work. there are a surprising number of more alternative places around- particularly a restaurant called ‘neato burrito’ and a nice vintage clothes shop called ‘checkered past’.
