[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a small city on the Great Plains, now in DC.

Pro:
People don't talk about their jobs all the time.
Con:
People's jobs aren't much to talk about.

Pro:
There's a great art museum, concert venue, and city park.
Con:
There's only one of each of those. After a visit, you've got a long wait until you want to go again.

Pro:
It's easy to drive everywhere.
Con:
[b]You have to drive everywhere.[/b]

Pro:
People are willing to get together to just hang out and chill.
Con:
That's all they're willing to do.

Pro:
If you live there long enough, you know all the people you can turn to for anything you need, from a reliable home repair to a ride to the hospital to a recommendation for hospice. 
Con:
Building that network requires that you stay there a long, long time.

The people who're happy there seem to be people who like to work a satisfying but not demanding job, spend quiet evenings at home, and see friends and family on the weekend. Sounds fine! It just wasn't for me.

This is not true everywhere in the Midwest as I’m sure you know. I live in a large Midwestern city and hardly ever drive.[/quote]

It is VERY true of the south.  Fast growth means one new subdivision jsut further down the road with its attendant strip mall shopping center.  They all look alive. [/quote]
