Here are some random observations from my almost 3 hours (each way) trip to a small town near Ozark country in Missouri. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Ozarks, that is where the movie "Deliverance" was set.
You might be in a redneck town if:
1) The name of 70% of the business in town including the college and the car wash starts with "State Fair" because it is where the state fair is actually held every year.
2) The 100-ish year old house on the outskirts of town has a brand new, arrest me red roof. (Hey look! The red roof inn!)
3) The 3 vehicles in front of you at the stop sign are actually zero turn radius lawn mowers.
4) There really are flower gardens inside of tractor tires in people's front yards!
5) Every business on the 15 mile stretch of highway before you get to town is either a farm equipment dealership, a used car lot, a manufactured home dealership, or a nudie bar. (there are at least 3 of each in every 5 miles)
6) A few miles down the street from the Mennonite buffet style restaurant and furniture store is the Dickie Doo BBQ.
If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'! Every bit of that is TRUE.

I was trying to be very casual about all of it while I we were driving around. The only one that did actually escape my mouth was "Hey! LOOKIT! The Red Roof Inn!!" My kids grew up in a small town not far from where we were, so I try not to make fun too much.
