Why is the Northeast so much better off than the South, Midwest and West? (crime, Boston)

BTW, Sundance Square is a district in downtown, not ALL of downtown. And it's named after the Sundance Kid because of the history of outlaws that spent time there around the turn of the last century. Nothing to do with any rednecks.

Maybe before you trash some place, you may wanna get your facts straight, first.

whats norwich?

It is the attitudes of the OP, and his not-so-ambiguous alt. here that gives me no intention to go north of Virginia, ever.

I'll take the Deep South thank you, I've had enough attitudes like his for one lifetime.

There really isn't much compassion on this site for the down-and-out, people who might need a helping hand, and cities that once prospered and are now struggling. I'm thankful we have people to grow our food for us, those that work in manufacturing, you know, the people that get ripped day after day. I'll get off my soapbox now, but I'm pretty disgusted.

I live in NYC and I was just in the very odd cold weather, 40 degrees isn't that cold now that I dealt with abnormal days in the 20's and 30's.
