Since September of last year, I've moved... 3 times. Fuck. And each time, the town I move to gets shittier and shittier.
Tempe, where I lived for 20 years. Fucking loved that town. Couldn't afford to live there anymore.
Took a stab at Fergus Falls, Minnesota. That didn't pan out.
So back to Arizona, but Holbrook, dying-ass nostalgia-tourism dependent town on Route 66.
Then I get an offer: $500/mo for a 950 square foot 3 bedroom house... but in Ackley, Iowa. Midwest again, but this time not even Minnesowwwweduh-dontchyaknoh. And there's fucking nothing here. Even deader than Holbrook was.
One restaurant in the whole fucking town, a "Pizza Ranch." As if there's majestic herds of undomesticated pizzas thundering across the prairie and shit. One grocery store, which is in the process of closing down. What's left is a Dollar General and a convenience store that doubles as a pizzaria called Casey's General Store.
I've been here about a week and I already fucking hate this town. The only reason I'll stay is that where else in the whole fucking country can a guy get a house for $500/mo except Fucking Nowheretown.
