I don't know very much at all about Benton Harbor, only that it is either also going thru a bankruptcy, or are about to. Flint Michigan as well.
Not the first time I've been asked about Hardcore Pawn. Honestly, I just began watching episodes on the show. And although the clientele of the show looks about right, no way in hell ANYBODY walks into a business and acts as foolish as the people portrayed do on that show. If you guys don't know that's all staged or replayed for tv your just being nieve. The guy running that show is a cheap f@ck. Evidence by the show where he went and tried to purchase the employees weapons and tried to undercut the gun shop owner. Then acted like.....What's wrong with that guy???...He thru them all out of the store. I don't doubt this "Les" preys on those peoples misfortune everyday. But I DO enjoy the show now that I started watching it. I think that's what happens to your kids when you spoil them growing up. They turn out like his kids did.

Benton Harbor city gov is the same at Detroit's-years of decreasing revenues, embezzling, mismanagement, on and on.
