Well, I lived in a crummy little bigoted town where all us whites had parents who were mostly blue collar, some white collar and the rest was the doctor, the dentist, and so forth...and their offspring.

Bob Scarborough was the one who turned the whole region into suburbia, but he lived in a crummy little bigoted town, in a real nice house, himself. We had a main street and stores.

When the malls came, things were bad for the shops in town. Now there is a renaissance of sorts and people want to have that "small town" feeling, so it is being "gentrified" of sorts.

Carl MacIntire, the town's now deceased, chief bigot (Bible Presbyterian) would be turning over in his grave if he knew what a melting pot this town had turned into.....

And so would Arthur Armitage rip, who holds the record for the longest running mayor in the USA, would be too.
