I am in the area this weekend for a wedding. Even in the two years since I was here for another wedding, I see new housing and retail sprawl. You might think the state was booming.
I have to say that when I drive around, things are pretty generic and uninteresting. That field that used to be farmland is now a retail complex like you see everywhere. At least it sure beats the look and feel of decline.
