My job moved down there and it was an absolute nightmare at every level. And I grew up in West Virginia, so my standards were already pretty low.

Idaho checking in.

I had experienced that things were pretty shitty here. Then I went to New Orleans, and while there visited some friends who'd moved to south west Mississippi. It was bad for just a 24 hour visit, and my friends have since moved back to Idaho.

It was like stepping into the first season of True Detective. And not in a good, "Hero's struggling to build a better place," kind of way.
