[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can earn a DC/NYC area wage and telework from "flyover country" you become the big winner, and add to the local economy.[/quote]

I don't know anyone doing well in DC who visited flyover country for the holidays and genuinely said to themselves "Man, I miss this place so much. Wish we could move back!" Not a soul.[/quote]

Guess you visited some sucky parts, then.  I was in a north shore Chicago suburb and I’m like, wow, let me stay here.[/quote]

I don't know if the term should remain flyover country.  I think there's a much bigger divide between between Urban vs rural areas.  I'm a nova native and think Chicago is a beautiful city and has some lovely suburbs.[/quote]
Chicago is not the only beautiful part of “flyover country,” and there are lovely rural areas out there with lakes, etc. Typical DMVer to only acknowledge Chicago as worthy of any cred.

Oh my God - I wasn't disparaging rural America, I said the divide was more pronounced between rural and urban areas (culturally, jobs, politics etc).  I've been all over the country, urban and rural alike.  Each has their pros and cons.  [/quote]
