"Easily the worst city in the world" merits some attention from me, because I have a job offer up in that little burg. Isn't Calcutta a tad rougher? But I get Jim's drift: Addressing "outsiders" who have lived in at least 4 distinctly different areas in their lives (moving 'burb to 'burb doesn't count), how many who now call (at least for now) Grand Forks "home" would agree with Jim's assertion? I would greatly appreciate input. I am a guy who enjoys brutally cold winters and I hate hot and humid summers. So GF, ND scores high in that dept. But I am a "people person," so if Jim is right, I am not going anywhere near that small city. Man, it's frustrating: When you interview for a job you can spend nearly a week in the area snooping around (I did) but you really can't get the "feel" of any place unless you set up shop there. So input, anyone? Thanks! Oh, and does this individual mean "illegal to stop to help a stranded motorist?" Because what he wrote, "illegal to pass a stranded motorist," would denote the opposite of "cold" attitudes up in GF ND. That would be a saintly (although around where I live, potentially deadly) law. Clearly he had a miserable time: He moved as far south from the place as one can before falling into the Gulf. I hope that's working out. I hate misery; that's why I'm a shrink. I am interested in the consensus of "outsiders:" How many have confronted rudeness @ an above-average level? How many have confronted racism @ an above-average level? And how many have confronted "coldness" @ an above-average level? One person's experience is informative, but numbers speak volumes more.
