Southern political personalities, like sweet corn, travel badly. They lose flavor with every hundred yards away from the patch.

I had 1,000 yards when I played on plantar fasciitis before.
The street I lived on for the first handful of years of my life was lined with modest, lower-middle-class houses with small front yards and cracked driveways - your typical North Jersey neighborhood, with all the odd hidden darkness that that implies.
Take a walk around many of our cities and you will find areas of deprivation, high worklessness and educational failure only yards from areas of prosperity and employment.
