I kinda wondered bout that sort a thing, specially in southern Kansas, where there is such a pressure to 'fit in' and 'be recognized'. More than one of those near border towns give me the willies, they do. Even Arkansas City with it's neat little brickyard streets was like that. In town, Sherry and I couldn't find a place open to eat after 6 pm. We had to drive out to a Long John Silvers, just outside of the town proper. We did stop at one place, I forget the name, and we got there one minute after it closed. The waitress inside gave us the evil eye, she did. Stepford. Yeah, I think that's a good reference point.
