I grew up here, so of course this town has played a big part in shaping my social and cultural perspective. Fortunately I’m an avid reader, so I was able to overcome that. :P Seriously though, it’s not a great place to grow up. Pretty much your typical white middle-class Protestant suburb, a church on every corner and quite narrow-minded. One of those places you really try to get away from. Of course, my family’s here, and many friends, and that makes it worth sticking around.
