[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're all out here in the midwest.  [/quote]

As someone who grew up in one of the more liberal/educated areas midwest and has a lot of friends who still live there--this is probably partially true, but only if you're white.[/quote]

+1.  Also, I'll point out that all of those saying there are no down to earth people in this area must be talking about areas with lots of white, affluent, transplants.  I'm a POC and I know a ton of down to earth people and areas in DC and close-in MoCo.[/quote]

+100 When I first lived in DC after grad school, the only people I knew were people from my grad school plus one woman who moved here after college. Not all white, but mostly UMC, transplant, money focused. It took me a few years and a few jobs to find a more grounded community in DC but it wasn't that hard. Buy or rent in an actual neighborhood, stay in a job for more than four years and get to know everyone in your office (not just the people with your exact same job), talk to your neighbors, go to community events, etc. [/quote]
