Downside to Mission, thus far, in my opinion, are....It's quite trashy for starters. Lots of trash alongside the highways and side streets. Even the Wal-mart parking lot and store is trashy. Every day, the aroma of burning garbage is in the air, which so reminds me of Mexico...
As I compare Mission to Yuma.... Yuma does not have trash littering every corner, nor does Yuma allow burning of garbage throughout neighborhoods. The Wal-marts and grocery stores in Yuma also do not reflect the trashiness that you see here. Quite frankly, I don't feel all that comfortable driving around alone here. But, moving on. There are no casinos, no wonderful marketplace to wander about on the weekends and no 'safe' mexican town to travel to on a Thursday afternoon.
Okay, to their credit, I will give them this. Mission, and the surrounding towns, do have Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Texas Roadhouse restaurants. WAIT a minute!!! Oh man, YUMA has those places, too!!! AHH-HAA. Yuma also has IN 'N OUT BURGERS (our personal favorite)...Mission has What-A-Burger...been there, done that. Not impressed.
Anyhoo, we are here, so I intend on catching up on some long forgotten books and working on my tan while enjoying a margarita (after 3:00 pm).
P.S. - I miss Yuma.
