“Wanted to get into this, but Ms. Barker seemed to carry too much baggage from her youth in Laramie.
It sounds like she had a horrid time growing up there, but painting the whole place as completely backwards, saying that it’s “improbable” that it has a vegetarian restaurant just read as reverse snobbery.
It’s rotten to hear country people denigrate our great cities as modern Gomorrahs; it’s equally dreary for city folk to denigrate rural areas for flaccid reasons.
I look forward to following more of Barker’s non-Laramie based work though, as she sounds like a diligent reporter.”
