JohnA: We live closer to St. Maries than CDA so we spend a lot of time in that unique community. I can honestly say there are some great people in that city, but it does seem you are traveling back in time when you cross the Joe and enter town. There is certainly a bias toward the Tribe, for some reason, and that is unfortunate since they could be a huge economic engine for St. Maries. I have seen signs that things may be changing, like the willingness of their transit system (via Valley Vista) to tie in to the Tribe's CityLink route at Plummer. I hope this is a sign that times are changing and the county can begin to partner in other ways with their properous neighbor.

Question: Which community in North Idaho do you consider the most behind the times?
