Yes, grandpappym dragged his entire family from the country life to NYC. The cohesion of the family unit was destroyed and a similar thing happened to all of the people here.

For a change of life. Moved from the dead end of NYC to Vegas. Got on the bus just me and my cousin and 3 days later we were in LA. There I picked up my fathers car and drove to Vegas.
