May in pop culture

May is the hometown of one of the major characters of Stephen King's The Stand, the mentally retarded Tom Cullen, who meets the deaf-mute drifter Nick Andros after Cullen gets drunk and passes out in the middle of the road. Andros mistakenly believes Cullen is dead and careens off his bike.

King's version of May is markedly different from the real thing, as he presents it as a small town that includes a number of businesses and homes. In reality the town is much smaller; there is a single business, May Country Store, that sells food, fuel, and cold beer.
