[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s full of obnoxious state school hicks who grew up <300 miles away and are scared to move more than a few hour drive from hometown. It’s also on the decline, so much so that Nashville is eating its lunch as a middle class weekend vacation destination. Sophisticated people flee Chicago and never go back, ex Obamas.[/quote]

Imagine being so unsophisticated yourself that you think 300 miles is a few hours in the car while trying to crap on everyone who lives in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country.[/quote]

Do you know what <300 miles means? Look where the Big Ten universities are located. Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Michigan State, Ohio State, plus all of the lower tier state schools in that region. For all the bumpkin midwits 30 to 300 miles away from Chicago, it's easy to move there after college with your high school friends. Mom and dad are just a car drive away. In contrast, moving to the West Coast or the District, New York or Boston requires guts, a better job, and more ambition.[/quote]

Requires spending more money on worse accommodations, seeing your family less often, often being undercompensated proportionate to your Master's plus education, to have to work twice as many hours at a better job that fails to impress the people who love you.[/quote]
