Brewerton has recently suffered a steady decline in quality of population. This scientific term is mainly used to explain how superb the residents of a given area are. In the case of Brewerton, superb is no longer the benchmark of the town's inhabitants. This rapid decline in excellent population has a direct connection to the introduction of a rare and disgusting form of bird flu; bad and worse Nuzzo. The shananigans of these avian brothers has become very detestable. They have been known to disrupt otherwise happy parties throughout Brewerton. One Fox News Analyst even reports Bad and Worst Nuzzo breaking up a party at their own home. Luckily, for the rest of the Empire State, Brewerton's affliction has been nearly completely quarrantined. Furthermore, the presence of bright spots in the otherwise dreary Brewerton, such as the incredibly weak bitch ass marquis Walczyk who cant run to save is life...or bike for that matter,and the amiable Kim Nuzzo, a diamond in the rough in her own right, has done much to revitalize the business district in Brewerton. With any luck, the township of Brewerton will recover from this infirmity with the uncanny resilience that it has made it famous.
