[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in the Northeast, the Midwest, & the West. If you don’t see a difference you aren’t paying attention. Or maybe your idea of Midwest is Chicago, which is clearly an anomaly.[/quote]

The Midwest vibe is also different than southern “bless your heart” politeness. It’s difficult to explain but definitely a thing. [/quote]

It’s a different form of passive-aggressiveness.[/quote]

Maybe sometimes. But it also means clerks say hello at the checkout counter and wish you a nice day like they actually mean it. Or when you're merging on the highway, people stop to let you in instead of speeding up and cutting you off.  That's not passive aggressive, it's just nice.[/quote]

DP. And most Midwesterners aren't caught up in the rat race which is a refreshing change. They want their kids to go to good schools but you won't find them obsessing about college rankings.[/quote]

Right.  It’s awful here.  So unhealthy for kids and parents.  Constant obsessing and bs over schools. [/quote]
