For example: Everyone knowing everyone else. Where the drug dealer lives is common knowledge. Parents buy drugs and alcohol for their youngish kids. Unprotected teen sex and, eventually, pregnancy. Lower levels of education. Conservative viewpoints. And that's just from the people I've known. The fall fair is fun, though.</p>
