Changes

The city, sadly, has a racist past: for years people were greeted with a sign saying, "the blackest land, the whitest people".  The sign now resides at the museum, but the racism still continues as two of the major streets in the city are named for Confederate generals.

Majors Field, located in the southeastern quadrant of the city, was a training hub during WWII.  The city took over ownership after the war and has leased it to a division of [[L3 Harris Technologies]], who is by far the city's largest employer (the facility engages in aircraft maintenance and modernization, specifically secret work).
