City of lots to do with a Redneck insurgency

This area a lovely, the bay is amazing the way the light hits it. It can be very windy here with winds 25 mph and greater. I have lived here for 3 years and found many of its charms and taken advantage of its many natural beauties. The down town is great but expensive, which has only encouraged the Big Box stores to take over. The winter can be ridiculous, but there are a lot of places one can go cross country skiing (for free even) and there is the winter park and ice fishing.
The problem is that even thought there are culturally cool things to do, and festivals and so forth, there is a redneck element that is at times overwhelming. People smoke everywhere (not as bad as some of the outlaying cities) there are only a few smoke free establishments (City Park Grill). The rednecks come out of the woods and into the city of Petoskey to go to Wal Mart. And then if you have to go to Wal Mart for some unfortunate reason, it smells like they’d just been there.
We will be leaving the area because of the surplus of rednecks, and the lack of good jobs. There are jobs here, but not ones worth having to put up with hillbilly backwoods toothless jug tooting redneck
