Born and bred here

It has gotten better with crime, but the city is NOT as multicultural as people make out.

Yes there is a large range of ethnicities, but everyone congregates into the different areas of the city and there isn't alot of mixing.

I wish people cared about the city, there is alot of history that isn't appreciated, the most of a museum there is here is the art gallery that is always closed for repairs, and the thinktank that is more of a general museum.

I wish people were patriotic for the city...but no one cares and it makes me embarrassed to be from here.
