Here in flyover country we don’t have much of that stuff.
We do have a “Ted Turner Montana Grill” that I take care to avoid.
Most bars and restaurants that local sports figures start up seem to fail pretty quickly, I think they all expect to coast on their name value. Bars and restaurants are a helluva competitive business in the Baraqqi Depression.
I’m in flyover country as well, and wouldn’t have it any other way. I travel a lot for work, but that just reminds me of how much I would despise having to live in any place loaded with moronic libs - coming home is always a breath of fresh air.
Depends on what part of "flyover country" you're talking about.
While things have quieted down substantially, for many years, Kansas City was a MAJOR organized crime "hub." If you saw "Casino," that was based on a true story. KC mafia bosses were involved with a number of Las Vegas casinos. And we have a part of town, an entertainment district, now called the "River Market," which back in the 60s and 70s was known as "The River Quay" had a number of mafia related bombings.
After that, the organized crime taskforces pretty much shut down mafia operations in KC.
