I love Longview.

When people ask about Albany, I often compare it to Longview, Washington. Both towns are mill towns with cheap gasoline, both towns have failing downtowns and empty malls, and both towns have a lovely historic district. I think the meth problem is worse in Longview, and Albany is more ethnically diverse.
But here is a story about a 62 year old (former) firefighter from Longview who left a bag of poo on the doorstep of City Hall, addressed to the mayor. When he was asked about it, he tried to blame it on another firefighter, with whom he had a beef.
People. They are bananas.

  1. This raises soooo many questions:
    How did the police trace 'it' to the fireman?
    On what basis did he claim it was another's doing? Did he supposedly see him make the deposit?
    Who was he really sh**ing on? the Mayor, or the Fireman?
    Oh, the humanity.

  2. Not that Longview is any better, but this happened in Woodland. Not Longview. Please, we have *some* class. -----Erica
