And so the split begins - Texas, California, Greater Idaho, ETC...How about Michiana?

I'd say that in today's bs environment that using the descriptor "hillbillies" is no different than using the N word. The Webster dictionary did define a hillbilly as a Michigan dirt farmer, I wear it proudly.

My prefered self-label, in relation to my cultural heritage is "Appalacian porch honkey".

The term "Hillbilly" is for those uppity folks in Michigan.

Give Cook County to the Lake? As in Lake Michigan? With enough Rome plows, could be done...

Are we talking about just redrawing State lines, or actual new nations?

Both are only gas tank away from the motherland...

Yup. Thats what we see where I grew up. The huge blue collar migration north of the river. The place was the grand experiment called Eagledale. West Indy directly east of the 500.
It was re-named Eagle-Tucky for obvious reasons.
What a grand place to grow up.

Just prolonging the agony IMO.

I disagree, it would quickly become clear which side has the correct path for the future.

Same thing happened in greater Dayton. Some of Mom's family moved there during WWII to work in the factories. All of them went back to Frenchburg, Ky by the end of the 70's.

Both Kokomo and Wabash have more in common with Kentucky, than they do with Indiana.

Kokomo is now little Chicago. Now, if you want to see northern Kentucky come to Peru

I will be in Peru today to ride the Nickelplate Trail. Round trip to Denver and back, with the trike club.

I agree, Kokomo is becoming more like Chicago.

All of this discussion about Kentucky is making me anxious for my annual trek down for turkey hunting.

I'd rather spend six months with hillbillies in KY than six hours with metrosexual, leftist dipshits who believe meat comes from grocery stores, top knots are stylish and words are violence.

Dayton died a slow and painful death as manufacturing moved out.

Ahmm, maybe you should head on up to Starke County. It's was as far as the Breathitt County folks could make it.

I was actually called a barbaric cave dweller not long ago. By a dip **** in skinny jeans, black fingernail polish, under eye shadow and a bun on top of his skinny head.
My reaction surprised even me. I let him walk away under his own power. Its a waste of energy to even attempt to confront these human turd sticks.

Peru is getting its taste of Chicago too. Seems to be an influx of folks hiding from something

They'll die off quickly once things fall apart.

I can’t say much, my family came up here from Tennessee. Graduated and got $5 in gas and a map of 31 north

My grandpa got ran out of Breathitt for moon shining. He always said this was as far as he could make it. Bought an old train car and 80 acres and that was his start up here.

Or if they get the socialism they deserve.

They are delusional enough to believe that we can't live without them, no s**t I was told this.
