1. Stereotype Reinforcement Map would be a more fitting title for that one

:hi:

2. I don't know. I was born and raised in Madison Cty, Oh. and I don't think of it as a 'monied burb'.

More like a fine county to raise hogs and corn. I might agree that Dade County, Fl. is a 'monied burb'. I'm now in Washington Cty, Ar. and while the map shows us to be a 'boom town', we're also home to the University of Arkansas and that doesn't show up.

[woo me with science]

3. Hmm.

Aren't there supposed to be lots of jobs in "boom towns"?

Awful lotta boom towns on that map.
