I tried to have local pride. 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 14, 2021) I tried to be proud of where I was from. I lived in Elmsdale since I was a baby, and really wanted to like where I was from. Unfortunately I can't lie to myself.

In a few years Elmsdale will only be filled with the elderly, and the one too stupid to leave. It could be fixed if the residents actually cared, but they simultaneously don't understand why their kids still won't talk to them.

Small town for small minded people. Nothing more, so much less. Read Less
