I actually did some writing on this topic when I was working on my masters (in a small college town in SC). You guys are both 1/2 right. It's a cycle, it seems like Matt is dismayed by what has happened to his hometown, which is perfectly normal. Alot of those nearly deserted rural towns are now turning into baby boomer retirement communities and the "country folk" are getting introduced to people with more world-wise views.
