Armpit of America
There's an interesting article in today's Washinton Post that addresses this topic. Thought some here might be interested since this is a topic that's been debated here on more than one occasion.

Ann - I think that maybe I can help you understand Jerry's post. I am almost sure that it was jab at another poster yesterday. The post was something stupid about Blue Collar workers in the US. It created quite a thread. I see that the thread has been deleted. Lately this board has been filled with dumb posts and even dumber answers. The moon is no longer full, so maybe everything will get back to normal. Hope this answers your question.

Jerry should have hyphenated white-collar-college-eduacted-town-is-superior. It was a compound adjective. Read it again: white-collar-college-eduacted-town-is-superior bias. The article had a bias of white-collar-college-eduacted-town-is-superior.
Hope that helps.

This link seems to be working fine for me. Title of the article is, "Why not the Worst?" Discusses the Washington Post's search for the so-called, "Armpit of America." Their choice was a city called Battle Mountain, NV, which beat out a long list of other wonderful places including; Gary, IN; Branson, MO; Fargo, ND; Elizabethtown, NJ; and Scranton, PA to name just a few.
