Makes me want to cry watching this and how they took over such a decent city. You would NOT believe it! Arabic signs all along the fronts of stores and this was over 20 years ago! It disgusts me to even have to go back there to visit family, you can't even find a hotel NOT owned by them. Party stores, gas stations, drug stores. I refuse to give ANY of my money to those bassturds.
I stay miles away and then even make sure I know who owns the hotel if I can't stay with relatives. I swear, you feel like you're in another country when you go to the cities even surrounding this town. I can't wait to get home!
