hometown days...

Ok, geography lesson 101, entitled: Yadkinville. Just for kicks and giggles, I decided to look up Yadkinville, my hometown, on UrbanDictionary.com:

A town that could also be called Nowhere, North Carolina. The biggest event of the past ten years was the addition of Bojangles. This small rural town is characterized by the simple youth hanging out in the parking lots of various establishments on weekends, mainly after dark. But don't worry, they won't hurt you. For the most part they are gentle creatures known to most of the world as "rednecks." Centered in one of the last remaining dry counties it is amazing that you can find the more troubled youth of the area drinking their problems away. Yadkinville, a place that isn't even known to people who live ten minutes away.
Yadkinville is extremly small.


Welcome home, kids, welcome home. Surprisingly accurate. The scariest part? I knew the kid who wrote the definition. Other than that, all that is missing is: population 2,826; number of stoplights: three; number of last names: five; largest export: tobacco; language: Yadkinvillese, distinctly different from pure Southern.
