Fast Car is about getting out an urban slum.

One of my favorite episodes.

Fast Car is about getting out an urban slum.

And yet, for those many, many, many of you who don't seem to know, big cities are definitiely divided into neighborhoods, with clear if not formal lines of demarcation, and are as much like small towns in their insularity as any small town in Dumbfuckistan is.

When I worked my first field site at the EB shipyard at Groton, CT, there were 3 guys from NYC that were also new employees straight out of tech school. One of the guys from Brooklyn never had KFC. He went crazy eating the crap. One of the other guys from Queens Jamaca or is it the other way around, had to get his hair cut at least every 2 weeks at his barbershop in the old neighborhood to get that "special look". Yea, they very much live in enclaves outside of Manhattan at least.

Its a great song, and CMT just made the song #1. also you morons need to read up more on the location lots of other movies have been filed at the Maury County Courthouse .

A Nashville Country Christmas with Tanya Tucker and the Hannah Montana film was done at the courthouse. are Ya'll are so lockstep with what your news sources tell you that its truly pathetic that you cant event think outside of your warped sense of outrage.

You + All = Y'all

The apostrophe usually represents the missing letters.

Fast Car is about getting out an urban slum.

Can't say I'm completely familiar with the context of that one, so I stand corrected.

(Don't really see why one would need a fast car to leave a city neighbourhood though, when usually distances are small enough that you could walk to a much nicer/wealthier area, and city traffic rarely moves faster than walking pace anyway - but US cities are weird, I guess)

The weak beta got the slang wrong. Who would of thunk it.

Waiting for Meek Mill's response video, "Try that in big Philly."

You + All = Y'all

The apostrophe usually r epresents the missing letters.

Some areas say You All and some say Y'all. There is a difference.

Other things that happen in a small town…

Your kids are shot in school
You are shot accidentally ringing the wrong door if black.
You are shot entering the wrong driveway by mistake if black.
You are murdered while jogging if black
You are murdered because your kids are playing outside the wrong house if black

 

[A///]

Met Jason when my ex and I lived in Georgia. Was a nice fella back then. too bad he's a dick. I liked his old music back then. he's as country as I am native american, which is to say no to each.

Put another way - things not to try in a small town:
Have any kind of decent life if you are a member of a racial, religious or sexual minority...and, increasingly, even if you aren't.

Small towns, all else being equal, tend to have lower crime than larger areas, probably in large part because it’s harder to be anonymous.

The flip side to that is that small towns, generally speaking, are very economically inefficient and are fiscally dependent on cities. People don’t realize that the poorest areas in the country aren’t in big cities, they are small towns.

It’s very common for small town people to brag about the former and very rare for them to admit the latter but both are true.

'all hat, no cattle' was the phrase growing up.

 

[soundforbjt]

'all hat, no cattle' was the phrase growing up.

In the music biz they used to be called “hat acts”.

Working from home has changed a lot of that. I've run across several people around here that work from home at least part time. Lot's of retired people as well.

Personally, I love the environment. Out in public people are polite and friendly, the streets are clean and I've yet to see a homeless person.
I know you're a fan of stuffing people into hives but that just doesn't work for me. I ran that gauntlet for a lot of years and I'm well and truly sick of it. I want little, I need less, that makes me right at home here.

I'm happy you like your town! None of that changes the truth of what I'm saying. Large cities subsidize small towns - this is an objective fact.

That's confusing to me as I've definitely never argued for stuffing people into hives or anything even remotely close to it. How did you come by such a ridiculous opinion?

I am, and always have been, a fan of people being able to live however they want without the government banning it, yourself included. If you like small towns go live in one. If you like dense living then go live there. Whatever you like! This is in marked difference to your position, which is that the government should force people to live in the ways that you personally prefer. I guess some people want freedom unless it's the freedom to build an apartment building.

That's incorrect. I support zoning because I don't want to live next to a slaughterhouse or refinery. I don't want someone to put a high-rise next door to me.
This is called "planning" and it often works really well. If someone wants to raise hogs or make explosives as a side hustle I'm fine with that, but I don't want them doing it next to me.
Zoning is where it's at. It creates areas for all the things people do.

This would also misrepresent my position because people living next to industrial areas is a safety issue and I've always been very clear that I support regulations related to safety. I've told you this over and over - can you explain where the confusion lies? As far as planning working really well goes, clearly that's not the case as we have a mass humanitarian crisis due to it. You should ask some homeless people as to their views on residential construction planning and if they think it's working, haha.

Still though, I'm glad we agree. I think people should be able to live in whatever type of house they want, so long as it's safe, and you think that the government should engage in central planning to ban people from living in houses you don't approve of.

Big cities have more instances of crime but not necessarily a higher per capita crime rate.

 

[HomerJS]

Not in the small town I live in.

NIMBY does not obviate the instances in this country.

I was unaware of that phrase as well until Trump former COS Gen Kelly used it to lie on a Congresswoman who was with a constituent taking a phone call from Trump because her husband was killed on a mission.

Trump told the wife, "your husband knew what he signed up for". It made the new widow cry making her feel worse. Kelly was in the Oval and backed up the denial Trump said that. Kelly said she was all hat. This Congresswoman regularly wore cowboy hats.

That is it in a nutshell. The news cycle creates a false impression.
I live in the sticks and mostly it is idyllic, but I remember one meth lab that blew up maybe 300 yards from the house back in the meth lab heyday, and another about 500 yards away that they shut down the street for a while as they cleaned it up.
Domestic violence visits all zip codes. Same goes for drug abuse and OD's.
There was a double murder about a mile away by a broken ex-con who was never going to make it outside prison. He killed the neighbors for some perceived slight.
This guy killed his kids a few miles away, after disappearing his wife.
