[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of snobs enjoying their poverty porn as usual.  Hate to tell you, but someone could compose the same pretentious prose and worse about Baltimore or SE DC. [/quote]

Or PA, or rural Oregon, or Bakersfield, or eastern Washington, etc. The writer and probably OP sound like they have not seen much of the US. And I think more people moved to FL over the past 2 years than any other state. I think some people just can’t accept that lots of people want to live there? I’m not sure. It’s like they need a whole state to punch down at to feel better about their choices. I grew up there — some parts are amazing, and I guess some parts are like this. But that’s America. [/quote]

Yeah, agreed.  I actually found the photo essay weirdly nostalgic because it had such a weird same-but-different feel to the rural part of PA I grew up it that's also pretty economically depressed.  I remember thinking the same when I took a Greyhound through Texas a few years ago -- the rural US has common vibes, even though it's wildly different culturally.[/quote]
