Small Towns

This was shared by a friend of mine about her Grandparents very small town in Iowa. Makes you wonder about the generation gap here:

So last summer a family of Mexicans moved across from my grandparents. The whole town freaked out. They had meetings about it! They had to find a way to make them leave. So they started dumping garbage bags on their cars in the middle of the night. No one was to talk to them. They just messed with their stuff till they left town. I tryed to tell my Gramdma and pa that you cant run people out of town like that anymore. They told me they sure can.

Now, mind you this is the same friend of mine that when she visits this small town, her activities while there (like rollerblading) make the newspaper.

It is so sad this is true. You just got to love the small towns that think they run everything. You dont even have to pump gas there. All you do is pull in, a bell dings. Then a man with a funny hat comes and pumps your gas and does your windows.
