Hope they got arrested before they put their order in so that there was no wasted food.

It’s hilarious that the first thing you see is a Toyota in the driveway.

Guessing you’ve never been to OK. It has to be one of the most backwards states in the union, it’s bad.

Worse than Arkansas? That was noticeably worse than both Tennessee and Missouri from just across the border. Guessing there is an opportunity to barely notice the OK-AR border.

It’s real close. In the rural parts I’d call it a tie. If I had to live in one, NW Arkansas has some bright spots. Bentonville is all right, Eureka Springs is fun.

If I had to live in OK, I guess I’m taking OKC, it’s been a while since I’ve been but it wasn’t great. Not terrible. OK politics have gotten bad, imo.

throw MS into the mix

I’ve been told OKC has a good food scene but I haven’t tried it personally. They have a pretty good basketball team too.

Looks like the counties on either side of the Mississippi river have poverty rates from the mid 20%s up into the 40% range.

Affordable cuz gonna flood.

There’s a good bit of history involved, but I think to summarize, the places that had farmland useful for cotton tend to be the poorest parts of the poorest states.

my colleague (HS in AL, college in LA) would say “throw MS out of the mix. any mix.” ranks it a solid 50th and can’t imagine there is competition

Honestly, doesn’t surprise me too much, but in most cities this isn’t normal.
