The Midwest...thoughts of long country roads, fields of corn, red barns, white picket fences, and a simple life that is happy and peaceful.
Maybe.
Small town people are there for each other. Sharing stories in the grocery story, after church, at the barber shop, or over the fence in the backyard is a staple of the culture of the Midwest.
Maybe
. You see, there are some stories that no one shares...not with acquaintances, neighbors, friends, or even family. Those secrets are what you'll find when you read about four small Midwestern towns. First, Steubenville, Ohio has a steel mill graveyard. Next, there is a very bizarre bazaar every year on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Mackinaw City. And in Dyersville, Iowa, famous for the Field of Dreams, the baseball diamond created for the 1989 movie; no one speaks of the real ghosts in the town. Finally, you'll learn that Udall, Kansas, a small town devastated by an F5 tornado in 1955, harbors secrets that would cause Mother Nature herself trepidation. You decide. If you live in the Midwest, you know I'm telling the truth. You still won't talk about it. If you live elsewhere, like I do now, I'm telling. I'm not sorry. Yet.
