Clannish Cincinnasty...it’s cheap for a reason

I grew up here, left for the east coast for a decade, and returned. Now, I regret it every f@cking day!
While not quite in as bad of shape as many other cities in this region and it culturally has a number of offerings, what really makes it bad is it is ultra-conservative socially. Indeed, this town has a culture all its own. A lot of these people have lived here all their live, haven’t traveled outside, and have a very limited view of the world. Really, how many people do you know seek to move here. “Let’s move to Cincinnati” says NO ONE!
You've got racists here, but unlike other places here the racists win. It's very cliquish....you've got this Ohio vs Kentucky and Eastside vs Westside dynamic....there is absolutely no unity. Then, your neighborhood choices are either working class/redneck that are aggressive and pick fights or nouveau riche that think they are entitled.....you go out to one of their steakhouse bars after work they put on airs . There is almost nothing in between. Not to sound arrogant, but I'm told and am considered to be attractive, polished, and a good dresser. Never had problems fitting in and socializing on the east coast, but in this city I am very actively snubbed. Overall, the people are very rude. Sure, they can be rude on the east coast, but at least there I don't feel like I'm singled out nor stand out.
I had to come back and add if you hire someone for a home service or repair, they act like they are doing you a favor, and then they rip you off. If you leave a bad online review, they leave an antagonistic reply.
