The place gives me the creeps, honestly. It's nothing tangible, but it just seems to be a depressing place, and everyone I know who goes from time to time gets that wierd sense of dread. <br /> I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but as a kid we would always go visit my grandparents who live nearby. When I was in grade nine and read the book 'the Chrysalids', a post-apocalyptic, end of the world type book, I pictured Sarnia and its surroundings (subconsciously) when the bleak, irradiated landscapes were described.

I really don't mean to insult your town. In some ways I'm a Sarnia-ite. Every member of my immediate family was born there, my family moved just before I was born. Plus, I HAD to read that book for Grade Nine English class. It's actually pretty good. Haha, sorry Ron. I really don’t mean to insult your town. In some ways I’m a Sarnia-ite.

I thought you read a book on the end times or something.<br /> Although, that would be pretty funny if Sarnia is what the world looked like after the rapture!<br /> Oh brother.

It was nice - now they cheap out on anything and everything. Their advertising used to be upmarket for Sarnia, now it's cheap and nasty. The new Wal-Mart and the stores that will son surround it is the place to be now. The mall is a horrible place – it’s new management are letting it down dismally.

Sure we have a few new stores and one new subdivision but compared to London and even Hamilton Sarnia's development is happening at a snails pace. I think it may seem like more to you because you have been away from it for a little while.<br /> Nathan I think that Sarnia is not developing at all.
