A small town in Iowa. Burlignton was once a bustling port in the steamboat era. It sits on the Mississippi River in south eastern Iowa, on the Illinois border. Burlington has a deep hisstory. Population around 25,000 - 30,000. One public high school, a somewaht run-down mall, a not so active downtown. A new complex with a hotel, virtual bowling, restaurants, a few nice bars, a waterpark, etcetera. The high school has been having problems for years, fightinhg, drop-outs, teen pregnancy, you name it. Quite a bit of weed and drinking. Most people go out on the river in the summer. Most of the population under 25 wants out of the town. A small community college is on the west side of town. A few religious private schools are in the area. It's an alright town for middle-ages people, I suppose. Very blue-collar, few professional occupations unless you work in medicine. There is a new hospital and a new casino. It's got the standard franchise places. A Supercenter Wal-Mart A Kmart, Shopko, Super Target, Hy-Vee, Casey's, Walgreens, Aldi. Has the regular Iowa-small town feel, lots of fields, friendly people, pick-up trucks.. Not half-bad if you didn't grow up here or if you didn't go to the high school.
