around here, it's pretty quiet, but they're building more and more and slowly enlarging small towns and our cities like Raleigh. my grandma worked at a tobacco warehouse and i spent a lot of time around there when i was little, and nothing smells as good as a tobacco warehouse before auctions. but back in the old days, the school system revolved around the tobacco seasons, like school would come back labor day i think, because all the kids were working on their respective farms or helping out, when now, i tried to get a job over the summer working on a tobacco farm, and they wont hire because summer vacation is only 2.5 months and all the mexicans are working at the farms so who needs a highschooler who wont be there as long? anyway, what's it like where you live?
