Bugs. Hay. Horses. Farms. Trucks. Those are the first things that come to mind when I hear someone say the word "country". This is what some people call "stereotypes". Sadly, these stereotypes are true. Welcome to my home; Erie, Pennsylvania. Now, I know when you think "country" you think Georgia or Tennessee. I'm here to tell you that that is yet ANOTHER stereotype. But enough with this. Let me tell you a story about love, hate, friendship, and all that. No, not really. Let me tell you about my neighbors. The Strausses. Or, more particularly, Matt Strauss.
