I still find non-murdering tornadoes beautiful. Well ok, this one is beautiful.  This one, uh......... well they can get terrifying when they are a loving F5 that is a 2.6 mile wide of literal hell on earth. I guess that's kind of like... really really bad.

College towns are fun because sometimes the town continues to exist because of the students and faculty who live there, the old retirees who own homes affordably (earning a living renting them out), and the hospital that gets to pioneer new heart surgeries on those old people as they collapse

I tried to get pizza delivered once as a teenager. Nobody delivered that far  . I drove and met them half way like a sucker...One of the good things about growing up on the rural Midwest was how frequent the snow days were! My bus came at 5:45am, though, so I usually didn't find out until I'd been freezing my rear end off for 30+ minutes. Can't say I miss it much

My bus came at 5:45am, though, so I usually didn't find out until I'd been freezing my rear end off for 30+ minutes.  early bus buddy. I got picked up around 6am and the route was about an hour. Snow days were the best though. No school, put on snow pants, make snowmen and snow angles all day in the sunlight (while it lasted). Although we've had days canceled because of the cold as well. There was a rule that I can't remember. Something like -15F with windchill or something. Or if there was just too much ice. Oh but we don't leave summers out in the midwest. They'd also cancel school if the AC broke and it was 95F+ or so. Those days weren't fun though since it's more complicated to run around outside with your friends. Yeah, 95F isn't bad..... unless it's sunny and 100% humidity. Then you go outside and you have to put effort into breathing because the air is so heavy. That wasn't fun. edit: I remember when I moved to Seattle for a while that when it was hot out I could stand under a tree and the shade actually made it cooler. By a lot. I was in awe.

It happened in Beech Grove, an excluded city in Indianapolis Indiana was a major terminus of the Dixie & Jackson Highways prior to the federal interstate system. Its common to encounter confederate flags and the associated speech patterns associated with it throughout Indiana to this day. Not to mention the fact that the KKK was rampant in Indiana in the 1920s.

glowing-fish posted:Apparently from what I can tell, Weyuawega is an hour from Green Bay and a little closer to Oshkosh. So yes, that is rural, because most people can't access urban services easily, and the urban areas nearby are relatively small. And the city itself is small enough that the people in the community probably know each other well, like it hasn't been big-boxified. Weyauwega is on HWY 10 which connects directly to an interstate that runs north-south through the Green Bay/De Pere/Grand Chute/Appleton/Neenah-Menasha/Oshkosh/Fond Du Lac and Milwaukee metro areas of Wisconsin. Green Bay and Appleton both have regional airports which connect to Minneapolis or Chicago. Oshkosh has a Greyhound station. There are inter-city bus loops and taxi services. There are no passenger trains that run through the area but there is an Amtrack station about an hour and a half from Oshkosh in Columbus. Weyauwega is rural as gently caress. People in a town of 2,000 don't all know one and other. I've met people who came to UW-Oshkosh thinking this was a "Big City" because their graduating high school class was less than 50 people. You're being autistic. Stop posting.

I mean, if this thread was meant to prove that so-called Midwesterners were parochial, ignorant, small minded, petty people who are trapped in a little world of their own creation, it has succeeded. I have lived on three continents. I know you might not believe this, but in terms of the world, the cultural, geographic and economic difference between New York and Ohio are really not as existential as you imagine. The only way they became existential is because you people hijacked the United States by getting Donald Trump to represent your petty grievances. But even if he manages to reduce the world to rubble, the reason behind it is still petty and imaginary. Enjoy Donald Trump. Enjoy your freeway interchanges. Enjoy your flat landscape. Enjoy your claustrophobically empty horizon and lack of natural barriers. Enjoy thinking that because you are shopping at Walmart you are backwoods pioneers. You've earned it.
