Stray Cat, there's a big difference between visiting a place and living in it. True, not all major city-dwellers are rude and you do find pockets of kindness, consideration, and even humor. But...when living there you tend to see pretty much all of it--from the rats to the throw-up on the street, to the poverty, to the anononymity. The Midwest, it's not.
