      It use to be a safe place but now it isnt uncommon to see people high on drugs walking down the road. There is always trash on the side of the roads. Seems like no one takes pride in their community. Bloomingdale is part of Kingsport TN. Kingsport is also the same way.

      The area I live in does not offer any type of career that I wish to pursue. Therefore, someday, I hope to move into a city where my career interest is offered. The atmosphere is polluted by Eastman. However, there are many places to eat, but not many attractions.
      Tennessee is unfortunately, one of the worst places for drugs. There are many drug busts, especially meth busts, in this area. There are other crimes, such as murder, rape, etc., but those are not as bad as the rate of drugs here.
