The breakdown of Boomtown
Once a bunch of bustling bars and arcades earned the area across from the military base the nickname Boomtown. But while nearby communities have blossomed in recent decades, Boomtown has fallen into decay. The shooting of four men, two fatally, early Sunday morning in a parking lot here is only more evidence, neighbors say, that many businesses and abandoned properties have become magnets for criminals. With an influx of residents expected as part of the huge military base realignment, residents and business owners hope that Boomtown can be fixed up.
