Portrait of an Indiana town

One great thing about this prolonged primary season is the chance each state (like Indiana) has for profiling. Here's a great piece on Martinsville, which is half way between the two places where I grew up, Indianapolis and Bloomington, and which has forever been known as one of the most racist towns in the Mid-West. Fair or not, that image has been maintained--actively and otherwise--consistently and it's interesting to hear that image dissected.

Have a listen...

(Oh, how I just loooove to hear that silken Indiana lilt!)
