Here in the Wayne/Holmes Co. part of Ohio we have a huge Amish population. With a whole spectrum of different kinds, Ranging from higher order Amish that have phones, electric and drive cars all the way to the lowest of the low orders of Swartzentruber Amish who won't even use SMV signs on their buggies, just a couple of oil lamps (very dangerous and hard to see on poor visibility nights). The worst part of living in a high Amish population area is the buggy ruts on the roads (the ruts on my road are about 4 inches deep hope it gets repaved this summer)

You can tell the teenagers who are doing the rumspringa thing. They have a good time. Drink a lot, find every cheap thrill possible, etc. Do you know the lowrider lights that people put under their cars? A lot of the younger ones do that to their buggies around here. Premaritial sex is actually encouraged. When she gets pregnant, they get married. Its not unusual to have them drive down the road with boomboxes blaring at all hours. They turn them down when they get in front of my neighbors house (Amish guy) then crank them back up when they get to my house. There are more Amish on the road I am on, than English. (Everyone who is not Amish is English, it doesn't matter where you are from) I've seen some really crazy things, but they were here before I got here, so I can't complain too much.
