None of this provides any sort of lasting or sustainable financial gain for the city, although I'm certain a few non-citizens profit immensely.earth dragonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-14265009542889228402011-09-02T14:33:40.481-04:002011-09-02T14:33:40.481-04:00IIII think it looks pretty awesome.
