okay, this will prove where you're from

[Fredwina]

Fredwina: You grew up in Southern Indiana, didn't you?

"I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockle burs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me!"
Getting that out of the way,
I'm from the City of Jackson, Mo(not to be confused with Jackson County,MO) population when I Graduated High school : 7827. It's about 120 miles south of Saint Louis and is next door to Cape Girardeau(Cape Ge-RAH-do, or just Cape ) Some towns did manage to avoid the mangled french pronunciation. OF course , you should hear my try and pronounce Rancho Cucamonga (she's still at Cocomungo )
