Someone with an unrealistic view of their city, bordering such ridiculousness it rivals the fantasy world C.S. Lewis invented in his Narnia book. Usually common among mid-sized cities, especially in the midwest and rust-belt regions. Very popular mentality among so-called "civic boosters", consists of constantly drawing absurd comparisons to New York City or Los Angeles, using off-the-rocker data such as having a X number of coffee shops on one block to justify major-city status.

The third-largest metropolitan in the state of Pennsylvania, as it is known by non-Lehigh Valley residents. It consists of the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton located in Lehigh and Northampton counties. Scrape off the gloss and it is in fact a TIME WARP. It is a place where conservative, WASPY middle-aged residents inhabit as well as younger parents with children go to raise families and clog the roads with their horrendous driving skills. The area has gained attention in recent years, as evidenced by a new casino in Bethlehem and the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley. Yet in spite of these progressive improvements, people here are stuck in the 1950's and firmly resist change. Perhaps thats due to the fact that there are so many old people as well as gun-loving, pickup-driving hicks who think that the Gap is upscale shopping. The speed limits are set far to low as way of accommodating the slow drivers who can't merge to save their lives. Travel guides and tourism agencies boast its "proximity" to Philadelphia and New York City however there is no meaningful connection to either of those places whatsoever. The Lehigh Valley disguises itself as a peaceful middle ground between the more expensive metropolitan areas found to its south and east, when really it is just like any other decaying, Rust Belt place in Pennsylvania. People who choose to live here think that the "Valley" is the best place on earth. Don't buy into it. Move somewhere else.

1. Generally refers to uneducated laborers who work menial factory jobs for a set wage. Also refers to union workers who generally give up all aspects of personal accountability for the security of union tenure.

2. Blue collar is now synonymous with union drone. He will do what the union tells him to do, when they tell him to do it. This is especially true during election time when the union endorses one candidate over another. The endorsed candidate will get the lot of union votes, usually for favors paid to union leadership after the election ends.

3. Blue collar is synonymous with the decline of American industries and the creation of the "Rust Belt". Blue collar workers got greedy and demanded unusually high wages and benefits for a decreasing amount of work and responsibility. This resulted in many unskilled labor positions being moved to other countries. See steel industry and automotive industries as example.

A city in southwestern Ohio whose sole positive attribute is it's large human negative divergence.

Rust-belt state whose inhabitants are almost dead-center average in any demographic category you can name. Formerly known for its industry, it is now failingly attempting to become a technological center. Its drivers are among the worst in America, with the exception of southeastern Ohio, where nobody can afford cars. Ohio is where most improvements in aviation originate, in large part because Ohioans are sick of hearing how tedious it is to DRIVE through such a little state.
