Courtney and Jay....

Kind of interesting the things you write. I have just driven through Sioux Falls once so I'm not sure who's right however I look at it a couple of different ways. For one, Dee writes that there isn't that much to do? I suppose there isn't any White Sox, Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Ravens, Orioles to watch professionally. You moved from Chicago, Baltimore also very close to D.C. Yes, it is my assumption that you went to sporting events however I'm sure you haven't met every person in Sioux Falls as well. I have vacationed in both Chicago and the Baltimore/D.C. metro area and to hear someone say that the Sioux Falls area is rude...Wow, thats odd. Maybe it is as I really haven't been there but it would have to be just snobville USA to beat those other Cities mentioned. Also, I don't see what Courtney said as something that was of offense and then Jay gets on here (and we don't hear from Dee again) and has to come to the rescue of his wife for something that wasn't really out of line in the first place...Hmmm, makes you wonder if it was actually the residents of Sioux Falls that were the rude ones...About Roosevelt School, I honestly have no idea however do I have enough space on here to go into the Baltimore problems...? As far as Sioux Falls being dirty, Can I go back to the Baltimore issue? Is Sioux Falls built on a Landfill? It would have to be to be dirtier than Baltimore..Jay, you write that she has her experience and you have yours so you can decide. I have no clue as to who you or Courtney is however I am from Missouri and so I will take the word/opinion of a long time resident who herself lives in a good size urban population of Omaha-Bye the way Courtney, I know what you mean about the Cornhusker thing. When I visit friends in Columbia Missouri I'm just bombarded with "Tiger,Tiger,Tiger" "Mizzou,Mizzou,Mizzou". Gets very old....I think that Jay and Dee shouldl move to a BIG Urban community, maybe Seattle-wait, Seattle's too Clean though (wouldn't remind them of Baltimore). Or maybe Miami, how about Atlanta, or Detroit. I'm not sure as to what kind of rudeness youre talking about? The kind like in NYC where when you bump into someone they don't say a word and you say "excuse me, sorry about that maam" and they give you that look like "are you crazy and what does that mean"? I don't think it was every clarified what was done, who was shunned (or whatever). Did Dee and Jay even try to make friends or did they walk their dog down the street and expect people to
