I live in a smaller town with a less exotic name, and I hate when people talk about the Midwest or most of the country as "the flyover states".  For people who don't travel much, it's easy to get into this mindset that there are a few big important cities, and everything else is unimportant redneck territory. I realize from a little bit of travelling that there's a lot going on all over, and all of it's important to the people who live there. Sorry, I knew this would come up.

Four major manufacturing and research industries closed and/or moved (primarily out of the country for cheaper labor); the only city in Indiana to lose population steadily over the last ten years. Muncie has every right to be pissed off. You’re right.
