[quote=Anonymous][quote]I get a fuming, deep, defensive sense of anger inside of me when people call my hometown (in the PA coal region) a “shithole,” that’s for sure. So goddamn insulting.[/quote]

As do it, or when someone asks me "what's in Nebraska".  Well it's a state filled with really kind, hardworking people for one thing.  Politically it turns bluer each year, and even split votes in the last election.

Yes there are lots of small farm towns, some struggling, but it's no different than some of the very small struggling towns in every state.  I just drove through Virginia, NC, and SC...all three have small struggling towns.  The only difference is Nebraska is big and open, like many mid-west states, so there are a lot of fields to look at when you drive.  Omaha is a really fun and upcoming city.  Lincoln has more school spirit than the majority of college towns, and it permeates to the entire state.  Not just for football either! UNL's volleyball program is really amazing.  I've never seen a state so supportive of women's sports.

No, I do not live there (have lived in four different states since I left), but it's still where I grew up, where all of my family lives, and where I left a piece of my heart.

GO BIG RED!
