I drove to Pittsburgh today and the PA turnpike is littered with billboards telling passerby to demand that Congress support Trump's agenda.

My dad was a pretty progressive Steelers fan (because he got out of the hell that was Western PA) but fell down the Fox News singularity and had his brain slightly warped in his old age.

Guess Western PA exists in everyone. Just takes Fox to bring it out.

The city of Pittsburgh is pretty liberal. My girlfriend’s family is from up north in Butler county and it’s all evangelicals up there.

The concept of Pennsyltucky is really interesting. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh as the liberal areas on both sides of the state, with a whole lot of Alabama/Kentucky in the middle.

Words do not express how much of a depressing poo poo hole Reading is. We used to play Reading Roulette around July, try to figure out if it was fireworks or more gunshots.

The rest of the year it was just gunshots.

Southern PA seems to forget which side they fought on during the Civil War. I grew up near Gettysburg and my brother lives near York now and the number of Confederate flags is puzzling. It also pretty much nixes the whole "heritage not hate" argument.

I saw that when driving through rural Indiana as well. As a southerner I was equal parts surprised/disgusted/offended.

I made a side quest to Reading while visiting family in the Lehigh Valley a few years ago just to take in the spectacle of America's Northernmost Bojangles Franchise.

You gotta season your own fries.
The potatoes come with white gravy instead of brown.

THEY HAVE CRANBERRY SAUCE INSTEAD OF MAC & CHEESE.

If that place got hit by a nuke, it would count as gentrification.

Popeye's > Bojangles

Every time I go back to Illinois, I'm amazed Taco John's is still open. It's the blandest drat food outside of a gas station. But there's a lot of white people in rural Illinois and anything too spicy will melt their stomach linings. Anything more than the sacred three (salt, pepper, butter) is practically a sin.

I'm dying for some White Castle but the closest is St Louis. :smith:

Bojangles gives me the worst goddamned bubbleguts. Popeye's grew on me over the years. Both are superior to KFC.

I have weird stomach issues anyhow. Barbecue sauce and anything coated in it refuses to stay down. Painted a lot of walls bbq sauce vomit red before I stopped eating it.

Taco John's is amazing and better than Taco Bell. A six pack and a pound makes for great drunk food.

Bojangles and Popeyes are both excellent hangover food.

That's what happens when you raise kids without proper seasonings. Salt, pepper, butter are the staples holding Midwestern belts together at the torn seams.

It's like keeping your kids from animals and dirt, they're just going to be allergic to loving everything the rest of their lives.

Can confirm, grew up with a nail-biting habit and a whole yard full of the old sheet metal Tonka trucks, turns out I'm allergic to nothing they had on a RAST test and the last time I had a measurable fever was like 5-6 years ago.

Don’t have kids? It’s probably because you’re single and lonely.

You should get a dog.

We had cats, all the kids who got the "whenever it feels like it" asthma had dogs.

Maybe it was something else but I'm gonna go with the dogs as the cause of the bitchlungs. At least my poo poo got sorted as I grew up.
