Get the Rio Grande do Sulmug. Known to be in the center of the Meth Belt. A city that is known for its impressive amount of meth whores, wanna be gang bangers, and a snitch per capita that is absolutely impressive. Out of 50,000 residents, 48,500 have either snitched or are in the process of getting their masters in re-rockology... Homeless/homosexual/Sudanese population around the 2nd St. Caseys, Mcdonalds, Burger king area is at an alarming all-time high. Something needs to be done.
