El Mirage Sucks

Word to the wise, check out the city you are plalnning to live in before you buy the house. If the City Hall and the Police department are in doublewide trailers, look elsewhere for a home. A hard lesson, but that’s just one of life’s little speed bumps. The city started out as a conglomeration of dwellings for agricultural workers and because of political infighting never went much beyond that. Now, however, the government is taking steps to save the city, but are aiming a bit low on some of the businesses they are trying to attract to the city. In fact I thnk they should change the city motto to "El Mirage, City of Lowered Expectations".

When one of the board members of your HOA is all a flutter because the city is going to get a Super Wal-mart, you know you have bottomed out. Add a Food City (or Food Shitty as I like to call it – more of a refugee camp than a market, actually), a sports bar, and a Chuckee Cheese and you have yourself a by-God tourist magnet. I suspect that tourism would be a the main legal industry here in El Mirage, though I expect the manufacture and sale of Meth, holding illegals hostage for money, and stolen car parts are the main industries at this point. What a frikkin’ garden spot.

Too late to move now as the housing market has been inflated by Flippers and other assorted greedy assholes so here I will reside. Happy day!!! Hopefully this will serve to warn others of the dangers of moving to paradise.
