Favorite memory of driving in this city was on a summer night. Me and the boys went to a nice local bar but we took the long way there. They had just refreshed how the city looked so it looks a lot nicer now than it used to do. Imagine four guys in the car with the windows down, some CCR blasting and looking at the town knowing it was ours.

State Street. They just re-did the city so now the street has an amazing view and they really cleaned up the area. You can see all the nice parts and it really makes you feel happy.
