    Why don’t Century look what is going on in the towns next door like Atmore and Brewton. Those town are growing with shopping centers ect and Century don’t even have a fish store..It is a shame when people come home ,because there is nothing to do in that town. So what every they do with there budget I hope they will do something to grow the community.
