    Osceola, IN. Klan haven, horribly backwards community full of racists and weirdos. A few anecdotes:

    1. My next door neighbor was a card carrying member of the KKK. Once my black aunt came to visit and he made a reference to “n*ggertoes” right in front of her.
    2. I worked at the gas station in town, and once walked in to a ton of Klan recruitment material. Funny enough, none of the emails or phone numbers were even operational??
    3. The community voted to defund their fire department because they were tired of paying the taxes. A woman’s house burnt down weeks later because it took over 45 minutes for dispatch to even realize that Osceola Fire was no longer operational.

        Brazil nuts! It’s actually a still somewhat common way to refer to them, shockingly.
