My childhood farm is now a small-town sewage treatment pit. Tell me how good my settlement was again?

I have to examine Pickens further, but I'm sooo getting the same vibes as you on this one too.
That does suck. All in the name of progress of sporting facilities
The same thing happened in Oklahoma with properties surrounding OSU.
