Same Sh+t, different town. Diversity my eye. With the advent of TV, even accents in speech are disappearing.

Indeed and its really boring to have a giant country with an increasingly universal culture and the same handful of stores everywhere. I drove east to west a couple years ago on the interstate helping my kid move and it was dull as dirt. You couldn’t tell whether you were in Kansas, California, or North Carolina. Every exit felt about the same. I did the same trip before the interstate spanned the whole way and it was substantially more interesting. We are becoming a more boring and generically antiseptic place to live.
I miss those Stucky’s peacan candy and gasoline stops. An entire industry outsourced to China...
We just came back from a 1500 mile road trip.
Me: I can't wait to get to NC.
Wife: Why?
Me: I always imagine that as soon as we cross the state line there's going to be a great party we're missing.
Wife: It's the same everywhere.
Me: You'd make a great travel agent.
