What is happening to my childhood home? I remember growing up in Cove and never being scared of neighbors or anyone else. Since leaving Cove in Summer 1999 I have witnessed my small home town take a nose dive and I am seriously disappointed. Now bodies are being found, drugs are creating chaos, and that small town charm is rapidly fading. I hope and pray that one day we will regain control and enjoy the peace and serenity that I so enjoyed as a child. I retain hope that one day the dark days Cove has endured will be just a memory and its citizens will once again be proud of their town.
Do yall know who it is yet
