That’s the flat-out truth. I remember when I’d be traveling cross-country, stopping at endless towns to shoot pictures and explore the histories, I quickly learned to check my maps and avoid ANY college town. Always full of hippies, bums, and freaks. As well as a vibe that was invariably contemptuous of americana.

Farms balance out colleges, though.

[cripplecreek]

I don’t see it either.

[Nifster]

Makes sense to me. Lawrence is where KU is located. Enough commies on campus (and have been since the 60s) to indoctrinate pretty much the entire country side

[Gasshog]

Wow, hope he makes it out of Dodge alive.

It's the sign on the back

[HiTech RedNeck]

Might be on a part of the truck not shown in a photo.

But anyhow. Some people look for what they can bless, others for what they can damn.

[HiTech RedNeck]

OK so he’s poking fun at himself here I guess (toothless retarded redneck).

[GraceG]

What’s his freeper handle?

[HiTech RedNeck]

But so far they are mostly indoctrinating one another.

[HiTech RedNeck]

is this you?

[logi_cal869]

I don’t get it either.

Aside from that, LOVE the sentiment.

[A CA Guy]

This may greatly increase business.

I lived in Bloomsburg pa for a while in the 70’s and it was great little town. the college added a lot of culture at the time to the little town. also, drugs, parties etc but not at the animal house level.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Unsure how. I wonder what moved him to slap so at the place that had been buttering his bread (unless he got burned so many times it was futile).

[HiTech RedNeck]

College is not automatically evil.

[logi_cal869]

Awesome publicity for his new store in a 'bluer' enclave...

[papertyger]

The problem with college towns is they contain a core of affluent, well-spoken, prigs; the value and practicality of whose ideas have absolutely nothing to do with their ability to survive and thrive.

In other words, they are insulated from their own stupidity and/or corruption.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s possible the university area burned him financially. It certainly is a burned bridge.

[papertyger]

Farms balance out colleges, though.

Really? How many votes on a farm vs. votes on a college.

That's truly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen written, here.
