My Indiana Home

Heartland America doesn’t feel the same way as people in the cities. We do believe in religion, we go to church all the time, we shoot and fish, and love our families. Some of the time you wish folks in the cities would come live with us and see how we live.
Indiana teabagger Mark Holwager
You can't make this stuff up! It's here. As I understand Mr Holwager, because I live in the city,
  • I don't believe in religion. (O.K., he got me there. But there are a lot of churches in Seattle despite my best efforts.)
  • I never go to church. (Guilty. But I'll bet Mr. H has plenty of neighbors who sleep in on Sunday.)
  • I don't shoot and fish. (Guilty, but of what? Shooting and fishing are values?)
  • I hate my family. (You'd have to ask my kids, but I think I'm okay on this score.)
As for Mr Holwager's invitation to come on in an set a spell, a visit to rural Indiana any time soon isn't in the offing. Then it hit me: If I can't take Citizen K. to French Lick, I can bring French Lick to Citizen K. And I have to admit it: Who wouldn't want to live where you can mount a scope while you get a haircut?

The thrill of it all.

Indiana has had a massive influx of Chinese immigrant.

Where else but Heartland America can you get a Rice Krispy Flurry?

Scope and a haircut.

Fine dining in the Heartland. Reservations only after 6 pm.

There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.

"Come see how we live."

Indiana values diversity and does not tolerate racism.

One of many thriving business districts in rural Indiana.

Homes in rural Indiana have many modern conveniences.
Community swimming pools are a common sight.
