<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MountainLark, post: 506961, member: 9938&quot;]It IS the most beautiful countryside in the world, as far as I&#039;m concerned. Growing up in my hometown was like living inside a Norman Rockwell painting: rolling lawns, picket fences, and tree-lined avenues with small but well-kept homes. Of course there were pockets of deep poverty, but that can be found in other parts of the country, as well -- sometimes worse!&nbsp; I&#039;ve never understood why Appalachia gets singled out so much as the &quot;poster child&quot; for hard times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
