Marc Munroe Dion in dailyherald: What we think about small towns and the reality we know don't always coincide.
I did part of my growing up in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. The parents of most of my high school friends were immigrants who had come to Kansas City from Bluejacket, Oklahoma; Coffey, Missouri; Calico Rock, Arkansas, and a hundred other angle-parking-on-Main-Street towns in the middle of the country.
Some of my friends' fathers and mothers remembered picking cotton by hand, plowing behind a mule in the 1940s, summers without shoes, no electricity and going"to town" on a Saturday to watch other country people who'd come to town.Once or twice a year, they took my friends back to that backward little town to spend time with Meemaw and look at growing corn or fields of brown stubble left behind by the combines. In general, my friends hated those trips.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service It's part of that grand picture of America in which honorable Italians still run some sanitized version of organized crime, there are no Black people in country towns and Rocky Balboa is the heavyweight champion, endlessly knocking out cocky Black challengers, but only after losing the first 14 rounds of the fight.
