Gallipolis

A small town in south-eastern Ohio, sitting right on the Ohio River. It was settled approx. 1790 by the French, and approximately 1/3 of the local businesses have the word French in their title. Also, everyone knows everyone and is related to nearly everyone, probably due to inbreeding. The downtown part of Gallipolis is pretty but venture out too far and you find ghettos, Amish, and backwoods rifle totin rednecks. The soul source of entertainment in the town is a trip to Walmart, which is also the cultural center of the town. Bob Evans, founder of Bob Evans Restaurant, is from this area, giving it its one true claim to fame, aside from the famed Silver Bridge, which fell into the Ohio River circa 1967. There is also the rumor of the Mothman in nearby Point Pleasant, WV. The town also basically revolves around the Jr. Fair, which happens every August. All the true locals constantly wear flannel shirts, carhart pants and work boots, overalls are a suitable substitution. Most womoen you meet will likely have more facial hair than the men, can run a tractor with ease, and will likely not know the meaning of Victoria's Secret. Overall, "G-Town" is a good place to live, unless it is constant excitement you seek.
