[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 343986, member: 2175"] I take Lima, Ohio, back, though it still has the world's worst slums. The absolutely worst town is what is left of Opp, Ala., hometown of a former Alabama football coach named Mike Dubose. His parents put a sign on their yard saying such but hurriedly took it down after death threats and vandalism hard on the heels of a losing season. (Dabo Swinney was his WR coach, incidentally.) Went back for the funeral of my dad's youngest brother, last of the clan, found a cafe next to railroad tracks bisecting the town and stacked with abandoned and rusted out railway freight cars -- tracks across South Georgia and Alabama are jammed with tens of thousands end to end -- and asked a waitress with a thousand yard stare what people in Opp did for a living as I saw no business nor industry. She said she had never really thought about it but she had a job. I skipped the cemetery service and fled the Primitive Baptist Church directly north to Interstate 20 since even Chuck Berry knew this was no Promised Land. [/QUOTE]
