Mangalore after 27 years

First time returning to Mangalore after 27 years after living in the states. These are my few observations: 1. Roads have improved a lot. 2. Very little poverty on the streets compared to the 90s 3. People are still very friendly. 4. City is lot cleaner now. 5. Lot of high rises. Still observed stray dogs, really scares me that they may get runover by traffic. Other than that no negatives from me.
