    My grandmother raised me and said if you can’t say something nice don’t say nothing at all. They are really nice people that live in Century. and have feelings. You don’t live there and you sure don’t need to say things about it.

    Where are they getting the money to repay their share? If I were the State of Florida I would’t give them a penny I would pay the company doing repair directly.

    Hey, that’s right up Century’s alley. Borrow money and then not repay it.

    I pray and hope they can find someone who knows how to run it because it has gotten worse over the past years. It has gotten where it stinks so bad in century that it should be against the law for anyone to have to smell it. God please send someone who can straighten this town out in Jesus name amen
