Before & After Joplin Tornado

<< < (2/2)

raml:
I think you will be surprised by Joplin. There are no empty buildings nor will there be since all have been rented out to the business's that lost their home base and I have heard that most business's will rebuild in fact they have already started. As far as vacant lots I doubt there will be that many the people who lost homes here have family in the area and will either rebuild or have bought up homes that were for sale in the area. I have friends who lost their homes and they may have to live outside of the area for a year till they rebuild but they aren't going any where. This is a City that while a fairly good size actually has a small town atmosphere due to most have many family members in the area and grew up here. Joplin is a great place to live and the people of this great city will do OK no matter what the federal government does or doesn't do the business's in the area are giving a lot of donations to help rebuild we can and will do it ourselves if we have to not all people depend on the government for their survival. We are nothing like the Katrina victims we are a lot more self sufficient and don't have the victim mentality.

That's good to hear - it's what I figured the folks of Joplin would do.
