    FUCK.

    that’s my hometown.

    haven’t been there in years, but i used to walk there a lot. i typically just had to walk on the grass or in the ditch next to the road. then i had to plan my entire route around where i could cross the roads. very very few places to do that, and almost none that were safe.

    got harassed by the cops once because i was walking at night with a flashlight in that town. walking is so uncommon there that it’ll get the police called on you.

    also, more town than city.

    same kind of crazy line formed there when they got chick-fil-a and portillo’s. it’s in Wisconsin, so they got chick-fil-a late and portillo’s early in their respective spreads across the country.

      Ha sorry, but I’m not surprised you had such difficulty walking. I also grew up in the Midwest where if you’re walking people assume you must just be poor and can’t afford to drive. Weird weird culture
