The Rust Belt
The belts I'm referring to are the geographic regions throughout the U.S. that are distinctive in a specific respect.
This subject came up when it was mentioned central New York is in the Rust Belt.
Rust Belt? I was not aware that we live in the Rust Belt.
TheSnow Belt yes, Rust Belt, no.
But we do indeed live in the Rust Belt and this subject led to a conversation on other "belts".
So I did a little research.
Who knew? how many belts there are?
We've got the Rust Belt, Bible Belt, Black Belt, Borscht Belt, Citrus Belt, Corn Belt, Cotton Belt, Dairy Belt, Fruit Belt, Grain Belt, Grazing Belt, Irrigated Crops Belt, Jello Belt, Lake Erie Grape Belt, Peach Belt, Porn Belt, Rice Belt, Rust Belt, Snow Belt, Sun Belt, Tobacco Belt, and Tornado Belt.
JELLO belt? Yes. This refers to the region out west highly populated with Mormons (or Latter-Day-Saints) who love jello. Especially green jello made with shredded carrots.
FYI - Canada has a few belts as well - they have the Banana, Bilingual, Nickel, and Potato belts.
