I am not convinced they know what goes on in Gary, Indiana in a way they don't know what goes on in Lake Bluff

Would love them to be a little specific about what "goes on" means because I'm pretty sure it's just people working, eating, sleeping, etc like every other inhabited place on Earth

The fam was talking about the various people we’ve met who say they’re “from Flint” but it turns out they’re from a neighboring town like Fenton that’s 97% white with a very low poverty rate. You’re not fooling anyone! You’re not hard!

a thing that Americans are quite guilty of is telling us soft euros is that they live near a place with a high murder rate but their connection to that place is driving past it at 80mph with the doors locked

I asked my friend who’s “from Detroit” where she came down on the American vs Lafayette coney debate and she’s never been to either. It’s not even a bad part of town
