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.
Uruguay does not have a major city named "Montes", which may be a misspelling of the capital city of Montevideo. Located at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, Montevideo is the political, economic and cultural center of the country, with a population of about 1.3 million, accounting for nearly one-third of the country's total population. The coastal city has a UNESCO-recognized Historic Old Town, which retains its colonial architecture and harbor atmosphere; the long La Costa Beach is a popular place for recreation, and is known as the "Riviera of South America". As one of the safest cities in South America, Montevideo is a blend of European flavor and local culture, with a strong beef and wine industry that attracts many tourists every year to experience its relaxed pace of life and unique port culture.
