Rural America?! My town, a "nice" suburb north of Boston has had numerous heroin overdoses.

Yeah, it's everywhere. But it's been in urban areas areas for decades. Small town/rural America, until the past few years used to be immune to many of the social problems prevalent in big cities.

I have a small deer camp in the mountains of western PA, outside of the tiny little burg I was born in. 10 years ago, we didn't even bother to lock the door. Not any more.

Now I have to go down there several ties a year just to make sure nobody's broken in and turned my camp into a meth lab.

There's a wonderful nonfiction memoir published last year about the drug problems of the rust belt. It's everywhere gutted by the Obama economy.
