I thought some of you might have fun with this. In the upper right hand corner of the page, you type in a zip code and it gives you an idea of what the lifestyle there is like. This is what it had to say about my town:
"Most of us are settled, married couples who own single family houses or mobile homes. You can find us in the more rural outskirts of metropolitan areas, mostly in the South. We work in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, health care, retail, and construction. We shop at Walmart and the convenience store; we look for bargains and aren't particularly concerned about brands or quality. Slow to adapt to technology, we get most of our information from satellite TV. We enjoy life in the country, so we fish; hunt; own pets; work on our vehicles; listen to country music; and read fishing, hunting, and home service magazines. For a treat, we'll eat out at a low-cost family restaurant or a drive-in."
So not true, but I got a laugh, anyway. Figured you all might, too. I'm interested in seeing what it has to say about where you all live.
