Leaving Lemon: A White Trash Odyssey Part Two

Layout article by LordDilly on 23 June 2007, tagged as creativewriting

OmniNerd has it all - physics, politics, religion, history, technology, and now, a bloodthirsty dachshund sadly only able to gum its victims. This, the next in Nick Dilmore's White Trash Odyssey series, takes us deeper (perhaps too deep) into the McMillan family of Lemon, PA. With descriptions of living near the "Poop Pile," Leaving Lemon: Part II may force you to reconsider your narrow definition of humanity, but, then again, it also may give you hope that man can indeed survive that nuclear holocaust. So, go straight on past the Teakettle Tavern, turn before you get to Shep's Cheese factory, and plant yourself for a moment amid the economically blighted, but comedically fertile world of clan McMillan. Watch out for the Poop Pile.

used to play there too by Anonymous :: NR0

My cousin lived right up the road from you. We used to play in the abandoned factory too, I can remember my friend hiding from us by burying himself in these shiny blue plastic chips. You mention that they used to extract silver from x-rays. Makes me wonder... Is that true?

any help in the area by Anonymous :: NR0

I know this is written as fiction and surely exaggerated, but I assume it also bears some resemblance to real life in rural PA. NOt to take away from the humor value, but are there any groups (government or otherwise) actively trying to help these people? YOu always hear about the poor inner-city people, but rarely what is being done in the country.
