Oh, Goodie! Dane and Milwaukee Counties in Wisconsin! ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ WILL explode with unrest if the ‘White Wine and Brie Crowd’ is denied their treats and Cigar Bars (exempt from Smoking Ban Rules, of course!) right off the Capitol Square. Inconvenience our Local Liberal Legislators and YOU WILL PAY! *SMIRK*
Thank goodness I can head west to Iowa County (where our ‘big’ farm is located*) and then, if necessary, on to Idaho where my survivalist Bestie lives, though Beau is a crack shot and will defend us IF the Zombies can find us. :)
*It took me nearly a year WITH A MAP to easily find my way out there; I can find it now, sans map!
I posted this article (under a different title) early this AM and didn’t get nearly the reaction. I think the title was something like “More than one half of the country lives in these counties.” Anyway, in the original article the counties are listed by name for reference. I was amazed that I have lived in at least 3 of the counties (not counting Berkeley, CA and Lake County, IL).
When I lived in those places, they were small.
Fresno, CA has grown from 100,000 to 500,000 and it shows. I was just there for my mom’s 100th birthday; and it’s horrid. Those folks never heard of a through street. Everything is stop, wait, and go. It takes forever to get from one place to the next. And people are angry when they finally get there. Rats in a box.
Ft. Bend Co, TX, a rural suburb of Houston when I lived there in the ‘70s. It is now one of the most populous counties in the nation. All I can think of is that a lot of folks have move to FBC from Harris Co. to avoid Houston’s high crime rate and unreasonable traffic.
Snohomish Co, WA — very rural when I lived there in the early 1980s. I don’t know what happened to it, unless a lot of people moved there when King Co. (Seattle) prices got too hgh. I lived on top of the highest hill on 12 acres of woods that backed up to 1000 acres of state forest. I’d go weeks without seeing a neighbor unless I drove into town.
BTW, do you see that tiny county just north of Milwaukee County? That is where I live now.
