1. Recommended. I hail from a old manufacturing town in upstate NY...

A town in which, when I was growing up in the late 60's/early 70's, everyone had a job and everyone could feed their families. Almost all of the factories are gone now, save a few non-Union shops that don't pay shit, anyway. The street I grew up on, once a quiet, middle-class neighborhood of old homes and old friends, is now crime-ridden.

The America I remebmer is gone...:(
