August 28, 2014 Did you every wonder what defines us? I read in USA TODAY, “What’s the most ‘American’ city? — study says Nashville. Nashville best matches the demographic of the total USA — Race, Religion, Education, Income, etc. — So, cities and infact, the total USA, is defined by things. Oh, forgot to tell you the a city near where I come from is among the most unlike the rest of the USA — That is Altoona, PA — Now you know why I do not quite fit in!!!! So I said to myself, “I wonder how you, me, and others are defined” — So, I started at the top with the obvious items — you know, things I could take a photo of like hats, hair-do, etc. But for my first look-see at what defines us, I actually started at the bottom – Our feet – then I added just a few other items for this first go-around on my in depth analysis of HOW ARE WE DEFINED. Oh what did I add? Our hats, our tattoos, and those we hang out with.
These shoes define me as one of the crowd known as the “Hairy Legs, White socks, and Blue Ribbon beer crowd”We from around Altoona, Pa are just a little alien – would not you mainstreamers say so.
