Arthur is a small unincorporated community in Elko County, Nevada, United States, located in the northeastern part of the state on the edge of the Great Basin, surrounded by a vast desert and ranching landscape. It is sparsely populated, with fewer than 200 permanent residents according to recent statistics, and retains a typical western small-town appearance, with a historic school, post office, and a handful of local stores in the center of the community, and economic activity that relies heavily on the surrounding livestock and mining industries. Away from large urban centers and with starry nights, Arthur is one of the destinations for experiencing Nevada's quiet country life and a gateway to surrounding state parks and nature preserves for travelers seeking untouched natural beauty.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
