The American dream

Driving across the plains of eastern Colorado the sun sets, the clouds change colors and the light reflects off the dying grasses of summer.
The moon rises giant and orange over the rolling hills, up into the clouds.
As the sky darkens the rural mid west appears. Every few miles another city glows, a beacon of light in the vast darkness. Each radiating the promise of the American Dream.
Edward Hopper, Nighhawks 1942

there is something truly magical about the mid-west. Drive in movies, pick up trucks, diners, small town quality. I’m not saying everything is good here. A lot is not. That is true w/ any era. It is easy to see the good side of the 40s and 50s- but there was so much else there. But the mid west is full of small time businesses, family values and people living off the land. In everything there is promise of supporting a family, owning a home and being successful in whatever venture you choose.There is great romance of the mid-west.
