What are things like in the Ozarks these days? Is there any true hillbilly culture there, or have the tourists taken over?
Alas, when I was growing up in a small town west, we had mostly hillbilly (good, decent, salt of the earth). Yep, mostly city folks now. I suspect there are enclaves of these good people but even I have moved to the city, too far to work. That's been within the last 10-15 years.
Sweet of you to ask but most are gone, just in the past few years. And I ain't that old! 46, things were different. I could still quilt and can produce, but I think I'm one of the few.
