      Nancy Lindsay it’s not, and it’s sad. My mom’s family is like this and sometimes I get weirded out by how deeply kind my aunts and uncles are. Why are they so NICE??? One time, my mom told my uncle I didn’t have a kitchen table so he drove 9 hours to give me a table that he didn’t want anymore and then took me out for dinner. When I tell this to people in Boston, they ask if my family just thinks I’m incompetent.

Less snow than I was expecting, too, which is nice. If there's one 'con' it would be the lack of decent international food, though there are more great pubs than you can swing a cat at.

    Born and raised in CA, got tired of all the people and moved up to a small mountain town above the hoards. The first time I fueled up the car, some guy said good morning at the pump and I looked around to see who he was talking to. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why people were waving at me as we passed on the highway. And when a 7 year old boy held the door open for me at the post office I almost fainted. Enjoyed it for 15 years, everyone knew EVERYONE and a guy from MN removed snow from my driveway every winter in the middle of the night so I couldn't pay him.
    Now I'm down with the hoards again. Everyone keeps to themselves 😒

    I'm from Minnesota and this is accurate.
    Just last winter I was airing up my tire at a gas station and this random dude walked up and asked for a ride to the casino, I was reluctant but of course I gave him a ride. It was cold out and the guy didn't have a sweater or coat so I told him throw on the sweater I have in the back seat. We eventually get to the casino and I don't want to ask for my sweater back and he says "hey thanks for the ride and sweater" I was happy he said that so I wouldn't have to ask for it back but it sucked because I just bought that new Carhartt sweater a few days before. It wasn't too bad of an inconvenience though because the gas station near the casino has an air pump that was usable so it worked out. The guy is also apparently an aspiring hip hop artist so by the end of the ride I had a new soundcloud account and he's the only artist I follow, Haven't been back on soundcloud since.
