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.
Edgemont is a small city in Fall River County, South Dakota, United States, located in the southwestern part of the state near the Wyoming border. Nestled in the southern Black Hills region at an elevation of about 3,500 feet, the city is known for its peaceful rural atmosphere and western historical sites. Founded in the late 1800s, Edgemont was an important stop on the Chicago-Northwestern Railroad and still retains traces of its Old West flavor and railroad culture.
The city's economy is based on agriculture, livestock and tourism, and the surrounding natural beauty, including the nearby Angostura Recreation Area and Custer State Park, attracts outdoor enthusiasts for hiking, fishing and hunting. With a population of about 500, the climate is dry and mild, reflecting the typical prairie town character of South Dakota.
