I was at a party recently and I heard someone's MIL mention that people are "friendly" here.  The whole party responded in riotous laughter - literally!  That is part of the issue, OP.  As far as comparing this area to any other, you simply can not.  If not only for the high concentration of those who think that D.C. is the be all and end all.  Do you really want to know where they are coming from?  Probably not. Holy sh*t!  Let them think the rest of the nation and world sucks and that this must be heaven on earth (egads!).  Then we won't have to deal with them when we vacation or retire :)

Glad to know that I must be delusional because I find people nice here (and yes I have lived in other states). I am a genuine nice person. I smile, say hi and treat random strangers with kindness and you know what? People are friendly right back. I live in an apt complex and know the majority of my neighbors. Crazy enough we get together once a week to play trivia and recently started getting together to hang out by the pool. Granted I am crazy talkative but honestly I think you can find nice people everywhere...you might just have to make the first move. [/quote]
Yes, it really depends on the neighborhood you live in.  Some are quite friendly.  Also there's a lot of DC folks whose families moved up here from the south and brought a southern friendliness with them.  [/quote]
