I had an hour to wander the streets of Mount Vernon as I waited for a friend.
I was particularly interested in seeing the town as it had attempted to rejuvenate the down town area.
The town is old. A couple of malls had been created on I-5 and the downtown was in danger of becoming a street of empty storefronts.
Many of the shops on the main street are empty. I also walked the alleys. I was surprised at what I saw and wondered how some of it passed inspections.
My home town has recently buried the electrical lines in the down town. Not so in Mount Vernon.
