I meant my specific town, actually. 45mi south of here (Cape Coral,
where I used to live) is filled to overflowing with lawn nazis, invasive
"concerned" soccer moms, and other such useless people.
My current town, on the other hand, is overrun by people who achieve
"coolness" in their respective social groups by making their vehicles
loud: Roaring pickup trucks whose owners think they're racecars, buzzing
Hondas with big exhaust tips, sputtering/gurgling Mustangs trying to
sound fast, motorcycles that can be heard for miles, Cadillacs with
booming subwoofers...regardless of the social group, it's all about
noisy transportation, presumably for people who can't attract attention
in any other way...it's kinda pathetic.
Every town has its good and bad points, but here in SW FL there seems
to be quite a contrast between them, even in adjacent areas. A bored
sociologist would have a blast down here. I find it fascinating, if
distracting at times, especially when I'm trying to concentrate.
