time to roftd Kns. To some of us. Ashtabula seemed like the most boring place on earth. But there were both good and bad points about our city. The Chamber of Commerce referred to Ashtabula as the Port-of-Progress. and some of that progress was seen after urban-removal completed Main Streot. Although this project's completion seemed endless, the citizens were left with a much nicer downtown aroa and a street that was a topic of conversation -both good and bad. Like all cities of Ashtabula’s size, it had its eyesores and dumps, but it also had some of the natural beauty that cannot be found in larger cities. The gulf and lakefront provided the community with picnic spots and parks. In the winter. Lake Shore Park became a great place for sledding and snowball fights. We were fortunate to live in a city like Ashtabula. Even though we lacked some of the cultural events that largor cities had. such as concerts and museums, we had the advantage of a low crime rate. In Ashtabula, we weren't afraid to walk the streets at night, and were free of the crowded conditions and traffic jams that plagued Cleveland. These advantages far outweighed the disadvantages.
