[ WP ] Describe your hometown .

to call it a town would be giving it to much credit, even a village is streatching the truth. this tiny town in the applachian mountians of north carolina makes mayberry look like charlotte. The town has one long road going up the middle with old brick building and an old white court house that has been there since sometime after the civil war. 
 
 They say the town used to be larger when the train came through and the mine was running at full. but now most everyone has moved on, those that stay are either the rich looking for cheap summer homes or those to poor to leave. A mixture of white miners, mexican farmhands, and the children of philopino and asain warbides. 
 
 Most of the kids in my class wanted to get out of the town as fast as we could, we did n't want to end up like the others who stayed, living in trailers strung out on beer and meth trying to kill time between shifts at the plants. and some people acctualy thought that was a great life braging about how they were working at the plant even though it just had another round of layoffs. 
 
 There is nothing to do there for kids, so far out in the sticks with most of the population being fourty or above. if you are lucky you might be able to drive to the next town over if you live close to it, but if you are on the mountian you better be making up your own games to play.
