I grew up at the base of a mountain in Virginia, so my comfort zone is that Appalachian area, where all the dues wear Carhartt and all the women can put on a beautiful sweater with a snowman applique and nobody raises an eyebrow. Hilarie Burton
Because they [Americans] want to be thought of as a rich nation, they are very ashamed of this place [Appalachia] that has come to represent poverty, even though poverty exists all over the country, and exists as much in urban areas as it does in rural, if not more...... Silas house (insert from Tara: Kudos Silas House, I agree. My dear friends and those I yet to know reading this, the Appalachian region is amazing and because of a few television shows or movies or comments by those that are "stars", Appalachia in many peoples minds is an entirely "poor" region or is made up of uneducated people. My friends, we are rich. We are educated.)
