The Fragrance for a New Kind of Redneck

Redefining Hoosier

Like most immigrants to Mound City, he quickly figured out that the local lexicon had something else in mind with the word. If outside the metropolitan area hoosier refers to the fine residents of Indiana, here it remains a term reserved for the uncultured and uncouth. A river-city redneck, if you will. A term often preceded by the adjectives South Side, south city and Jefferson County.
