THE PEOPLE SPEAK – It’s heart-breaking to look at west side

What has happened to the west side of Muskogee? I have lived on the west side all my life and I’ve never seen so many junk, cars, and trash in yards and rundown houses. It looks terrible and something needs to be done. I’m ashamed to tell anyone where I live.

The west side of Muskogee used to be the side of town I was proud of, but not anymore. This is just pure laziness. Anyone can clean up your yard, keep trash picked up, and try to improve their property. We need to take pride where we live and what we live in. It's heart-breaking to see our side of town in this shape.
