I grew up outside of this wonderful little coal mining town and back in the day and that's not been but 15 yrs ago this town was full of happy people.It makes me sad looking and seeing what has gone on here,the drug take over ,the hookers and homeless.It was nothing to see the streets running over with ppl out walking in the evenings laughing and having conversations ,never meeting a stranger.Kids could play in the park and parents did not have to worry.But how it has all changed,drugs are bad everywhere but also all the ppl who are coming up missing or dead.

I lived in Oceana for the first sixteen years of my life before we moved to Fayetteville back in 2006 and I agree with you %100. I remember when everybody knew everybody and my friends and I could play out after dark without worrying about someone bothering us. Then when I moved and I started hearing about all this stuff with drugs and hookers and murders and it made me not only sad but scared for the people I left down there who meant so much to me. The place that I lived in last before we left Oceana is now burnt to the grown and I can't help but feel really lucky and blessed to get out of there when I did because the home I was living in was right across the road from seven eleven (next to that field where the auto place keeps all their car parts, and it seems like the perfect place for hooker and druggies to go to since that alley is so dark at night. If we were still there and the house was still standing, we probably would have ended up getting broken into a lot. And sure enough the person who was responsible for burning our old house down to begin with was an alcoholic and fell asleep one night with a cigarette in his hand.
