Here is a great opening paragraph from a Guardian piece about Palin. It starts off talking about Wasilla...with just a whiff of snobbery:
"When the man working for Frommer's, America's best-selling travel guide, alighted on the small town of Wasilla in south-central Alaska, he concluded glumly that the place should be condemned as "the worst kind of suburban sprawl". To the European eye it would barely be a town at all. Rather, it is a four-lane highway that clatters across the magnificent, mountain-fringed Matanuska-Susitna valley, dumping seven miles of strip-malls, petrol stations and supermarkets in its wake."
