We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Your crown jewel mall was demolished and the redevelopment that was supposed to replace it with a shiny 'mixed-use district' keeps stalling out, because even the developers gave up on you. The affluent suburb that couldn't keep a single department store open long enough to matter. You built your entire identity around shopping centers and still managed to fail at capitalism.
You're so boring that your residents describe themselves as 'peaceful' and 'family oriented'—which is code for 'nothing interesting ever happens here.' Your city wasn't even incorporated until 1988, and the biggest event since then was when your levee failed in 1993 and even Mother Nature tried to wash you away. At least the flood had more personality than your entire city.
You literally named your valley after mud that turns to sticky goo when it gets wet. Your soil is so pathetic it resembles cafeteria food, and somehow this became your defining geological feature. Even your ancestors were basically saying 'this place is a swamp, but whatever, let's build strip malls here.'
Congratulations, you've achieved the most depressing accomplishment possible: becoming a champion of endless parking lots and chain restaurants. You took the suburban nightmare and stretched it to enormous lengths. Your greatest architectural achievement is basically a really, really long sidewalk with a Cheesecake Factory.
