Everett sounds a lot like my town of Fremont, OH. A bypass on US 20 took most of the traffic around town, but it's the home of Pres. Rutherford Hayes, and has lots of hidden gems.
“America is more like Everett than it is like whatever you see on cable news. You just sometimes have to slow down to see it.”
It’s my privilege to represent the people of Everett, PA in the House. Thanks to @SalenaZito for this heartwarming story.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/the-town-that-wouldnt-be-passed-by …

I despise the "America is like X" construct, because it priorities the predominantly white, predominately blue collar experience as the "one, true America" I grew up in small town PA. It was white. It was racist. It was poor.

Fortunately, I was a transplant there, and thus had broader experiences. I grew up with people who, despite being 90 minutes from DC, had never been to the Smithsonian. Never been to any museum, for that matter.
