Teen pregnancy, racism, bigotry all wrapped up in a one horse town! 0.5 rating By buckeyebruiser ( Jan 05, 2014) If you are looking for an area where most of the residents share the same last name, have never seen the outside of Caldwell county, share one set of real teeth, and are mostly addicted to pain killers or meth, Granite Falls in the town for you!
