      Ah I was wondering why you said there. I guess you could say the second birth. They popped up in Polaski Tennessee in the mid 1860s, but apparently the kkk had a rise around 1915 in Indiana.

          No worries lad, I learned the hard way. Moved to Tennessee because the spouse is from here. After work started taking instacart orders to pay off some extra expenses and shit. (Mostly loans taken to travel here when her grandparents and such were sick to make sure she got to see them before they died.). Ended up moving here and found myself in Polaski a couple times and was amazed the maps had it scouted, because fucking Verizon didn’t have the half of it and I’d say you don’t want to wind up stuck there looking for gas knocking on someones door asking for directions.

          I used to download 20 miles or w.e Google would allow me to local to the device so it would make it so I could use them without service, but Polaski wasnt close enough to keep offline
