My once beautifully quaint, exciting, and hopeful hometown of Hot Springs, AR. This place used to be something special. Hot Springs was the original "Sin City" and gambling resort back when Las Vegas was still a desert wasteland. Hot Springs has played host to presidents, prime ministers, movie stars, sports legends, and big-time gangsters. Anybody who was anybody made sure to visit Hot Springs, AR at least once in their lives. But those days are long gone.
I've grown up and spent my entire life in Hot Springs. I've lived both a life of plenty and more here recently, a life of extreme poverty in this town. I've always felt as if I was out of place in time and space. And this film makes me feel like I just hopped into a time machine and got transported to exactly WHEN I should've been alive! It's nothing like it used to be here now thanks to cultural marxism, diversity, civil rights, women's rights, and the evil communist )ew rat with their kabbalah magik poisoning everything wholesome and good. This city is but a shell of its former glory, with homelessness and drug addiction at an all-time record high, my beloved hometown has become a literal cesspool of degeneracy. What is known as "Bathhouse Row" still exists as the historic district (about a mile-long strip of old-world style buildings and businesses), and has been restored and maintained and kept nice and clean to appease the flood of tourists this town receives during the horse racing season. Why all these people keep coming here year after year to throw their money away and walk up and down Bathhouse Row I'll never understand. Beyond Bathhouse Row there's nothing but ghettos, abandoned buildings, banks, churches, and fast food restaurants. Literally. It's quite depressing. But that's enough from me, enjoy the show.
