Welland

Not a drug city, in fact it has the least drugs of any city in the region. Industrial background, but shifting it's economy to other things. It has parks and trails along the banks of the Recreational Waterway. On this old canal, there are several rowing courses, and two rowing clubs, with thousands of rowers coming from as far away as Virginia to take advantage of it. Welland is divided into four parts.Northwest, which is where most retail stores and the mall are located. This area also has very nice, older houses on quiet streets. Southwest region is the lowest income in the city. It is a peaceful neighborhood of almost identical townhouses and a great community. It also has four massive housing projects, which have great views of the canal and a giant park nearby. The southeast region retains its industrial heritage, with most people living in row houses that are built from the same plan. This area appears to be the most dangerous in the city, but isn't actually, with a great sense of community. The northeast section of the city is a massive new subdivision, with giant houses with pools selling for two million dollars. The loaded people live here. Welland has three high schools, two public, and one catholic. It also has a hospital, despite the government's best efforts. The city is home to 40 beautiful murals. Welland is an excellent place to live. Anyone who thinks it is the drug capital of North America, or a ghetto, or a slum, apparently hasn't been to Toronto.
