 It was just one of the many ways in which my grandparents felt that they were outsiders in this new Southern Ohio town. There were the Eastern Kentucky transplants, who maybe a lot of folks called hillbillies or looked down upon. Those were the folks who were like them. But then there were also these relatively upper-crust, middle-class Ohioans who weren't totally comfortable with people like the Chicken Man moving into their communities and having certain habits and attitudes that came with them.
