Yeah, "Justified" was a fun show. It seemed to capture exactly the zeitgeist of the period AND of the geographical area of Harlan, KY. I grew up across the state line in Tennessee not all that far from Harlan, and the characters in that show could have stepped right out of the hills and hollows of that region.
The most thriving thing going in some of those places these days is meth and oxy. Drugs have ravaged an already ravaged area. I rarely go back there... there's just nothing for me there any longer.
