Sweet people

The most distinctive comment I ever hear about Missouri is how nice the people are. I grew up in Rolla and am now attending college in Kirksville, and I have to say--I've never been anywhere where the people are as sweet (and I've traveled all over the country, and few foreign countries too!).
If you're strolling in town, joggers and people walking their dogs will wave a sunny good morning from ten feet off. Out in the country, farmers call hello to any person or car that passes, whether they know you or not. Everyone is just as encouraging and helpful as can be. The entire atmosphere is laid back.
