    For context, this city is well outside Columbus and what you’d consider ruralish trashyish

      Well it’s depressing that that’s the explanation.

      I will never understand why the US government is happy for large sections of its country to essentially operate as if it’s the 18th century. It is like someone went back in time and gave them all tractors, and coke (both types) but otherwise they’re just carrying on as per.
