Barbarians at the gate
I’ve heard a number of people lately talking about the new development on the horizon for our fine city. I’m talking about people who want Anna to remain largely how it’s been for the past 100 years.
I think this sentiment is something we can all relate to on some level — those who have been here for generations are hesitant to see the town they’ve grown up in succumb to the ever expanding urban sprawl. Many of those who have moved here in recent years did so because they like the small-town character Anna represents.
Unfortunately, I’ve got some bad news for those who prefer an Anna with more cornfields than developed land: The growth is coming.
