Neosho

There is a lot of meth here, and therefore a lot of methheads. Perhaps this is a desperate effort to have this elusive thing called “fun,” but I think more likely that fat people get hooked on it as it helps them loose (sh*tloads of) weight and truckers and shift workers get on it to help them stay awake. It’s the drug of choice for white (trash), blue collar folks, and we have plenty of those here due to the fact there is little job opportunity for anyone with a degree. Smart people blow this joint as soon as they graduate—I hope to be one of them soon.

If you’re not an evangelical Christian and you live here, you are gonna be like, “What the hell is there to do?” If you are an evangelical Christian, you’ll be glad to know there are 3.5 churches for every citizen. And most are Baptists…and don’t those people spend all Sunday at church, and all Wednesday evening, too?

Learn all about this crappy place by going to www.neoshoforums.com. If you are thinking of living here, it may change your mind. Then again, you may be coming from an even worse dump like Goodman, Granby, or any of the other tiny hell holes in the vicinity. Neosho may be an improvement for you. Perhaps you are from Mexico or Micronesia? Well, you might like it here. We have a huge Micronesian and Hispanic population. God knows why they come here…I can’t imagine working at the chicken plant is that great.

I lived there for a year when I was in 3rd grade. made a ton of friends that I was able to keep in touch with and visit for a few years after I left.had some really awesome neighbors, anda really good church. lived just up the hill from the elementary school, the park, and down town.

I was born here. That’s the only tie I have to the place, apart from the fact that my family has not sought to escape yet. I joined the military when I was 17 just to leave this place. It’s dull, dull, dull. Little in the way of entertainment, people seem rude and backwards, the only centers of worship are Christian and if you say you are not Christian you get strange looks. The city parks used to be lovely, but they are always strewn with litter now and the landscaping leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of the old neighborhoods have been taken over by partygoers and junky people in general and a lot of the fine old houses have fallen into decay. The streets are full of potholes. There aren’t many sidewalks to walk on if you wish to go out for a stroll.

It is pretty horrible. I can’t wait to leave. I’m just here temporarily.
