Love the banter between you and Tom. And, as always, appreciate informing an old person of the nuances of politics.
A long time since I grew up in Indiana. In my youth there were signs posted at the country road entrance to Gas City, Jonesboro, Fairmount, Swaysee and Sweetzer that said: (pardon what I'm about to write but this exactly what the signs said):

STAY OUT!!!
No such signs in Marion though, apparently the only place blacks could enter. But then of course Marion had a lot of iron foundries and heavy industry.
As I said, a long time ago, growing up in Grant County.
