“Well, the road didn't cut through the land like that interstate. It moved with the land, it rose, it fell, it curved. Cars didn't drive on it to make great time. They drove on it to have a great time.”
national lampoon’s christmas vacation is definitely thumbing its nose at the yuppie cosmopolitan neighbors, despite both families living in the same neighborhood and both commuting to the loop daily for work (presuming)

But I've seen it all in a small town.
Had myself a ball in a small town.
Married an L.A. Doll and brought her to this small town.
Now she's small town just like me.
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
