Every one of those rules is true, and they all do apply.
I grew up in Southern California; I know the mindset. Never fitted in. I like it here in the Midwest, with my Midwestern husband, just fine.

Those are excellent.

These are great.
FWIW, many of these still apply to places here on the rural East Coast!

A big ol' Kansas City bump, where I-35 and I-70 cross. We get the coasters coming and going.

I am cautiously approaching the true Midwest by living in beautiful Ohio. I prepared for this culture shock by dating a girl from Nebraska.
I have lived in both New York and California, but am recovering nicely, thank you.

At a bar I sometimes go(in iowa), a pint costs a buck and a game of pool costs 50 cents. This place doubles as a pizza joint by day, and there are hordes of little kids running around inside untill around 8 or 9:00PM every saturday night. The parking lot is gravel you can find conway twitty and elvis presley on the jukebox. The one and only cop in the town hangs out there as do several bikers and bib-wearing farmers.

I am from WESTERN New York. Grew up on a dairy farm, still live on a farm. In our county (Wyoming, after which the state is named), there are more cows than people. Our town has no stoplight. It does have gaslights. And two coffee shops where carharts and tingleys (coveralls and boots to the un-initiated) are welcome. Turkey season and deer season are the biggest social events of the year. Our lakes are filled with walleyes. The biggest industry in New York is ------------- agriculture. But somehow, everyone seems to think that New York is just one big city. FYI

But why would a flat-lander need a four wheel drive? It's flat. FLAT. Here in Idaho, complaints about a mere gravel road are for sissies. Try six inches of mud at a 30 degree slope-narrow, winding, with rocks on one side and the long drop into the lake on the other. NOW you'll need to get out and turn the hubs......

Rare steak is something new. No one in my parent's time would touch meat that wasn't cooked.

12. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.And nobody locks their car doors when they go to town, except for a few weeks during the summer. And that's only to keep people from leaving bags of zucchini in the back seat when you're not looking.
