jrhana,

Re: I define funky as so bad it's good

Do you live in one?

I live in Bend, OR. It has a magnificent skyline to the west with multiple Cascades Mountain range peaks in view.

What did the city fathers decide to do with this natural jewel?

Invite big box retailers and turn this beautiful area into a blighted commercial strip.

The result is a small service industry that takes pride in calling itself "poverty with a view".

The American Dream is getting tarnished.
