If you heard it about Minnesota, you can believe it, for the most part. Men sit in American Legion Halls at night and consume huge amounts of beer, and go fishing at every opportunity. Woman are the stereotypal housewives. At least for the majority of traditional rural folk; those filthy suburbanites from the Twin Cities are invading our towns and discrediting popular myths about how we live!
And the Twin Cities are great, pretty much everything you'd expect. The only thing bad about them is the filthy suburbanites, and they don't live in the Cities, they live in our towns. Ah well.
Actually, for the most part, that description fits all the places I've been, at least what small parts I've seen of them. Florida is mostly nasty, rich, snobby golf players, like some of my extended family; Maine is similiar to Minnesota, really, and Kentucky.... well, Kentucky is just
bad. No hiding that. It's hicks, snakes, rusted-out cars and humid weather all the way.
