City of Opportunity Declares Bankruptcy
Apparently, this is old news, but I don’t often follow local stories, so I just heard about it on the BBC world service…
I simply want to congratulate the City of Vallejo. In declaring chapter 9 bankruptcy, it has officially made the road sign that greets Highway 37 motorists as they enter (and mostly pass through) this forlorn municipality one of the world’s most ironic. It reads:
“Welcome to Vallejo: City of Opportunity”
I’ll get a picture next time I’m passing through, unless they’ve taken it down, which they probably should.
