Rural Southeast Georgia: it's different down here

The place where I grew up probably could not be more different from Manhattan. I wouldn’t change a thing about my upbringing. However the longer I live in NY, the “differences” become more apparent when I return to GA for a visit.

Welcome to small-town SE GA, where:
- my family's dinners are typically consumed by 7 pm, if not by 6 pm
- you can see a first-run movie for $5.50
- DJs play Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on the radio (without any irony)
- teachers visiting from France can ride a mechanical bull at a local bar
