Even in this god forsaken frozen tundra hell hole you can find a thing of beauty if you try hard enough. Well, I'm sick of trying and can't wait to move to some tropical paradise. I can dream can't I?
Oh Brother...don't let the door hit your whiney ass on the way out!
On the other hand it's just perfect for ignorant, low brow trailer trash whose only activity is "hutn" and whose idea of high culture is shopping at Walmart.
yeah....I live in the burbs of Rochester. I'm an architect, Dont own a gun, trailers aren't even legal in my town. Nice try though.
Oh yeah, and I lived in the "sunbelt" for 13 years and CHOSE to return to this "frozen tundra". Get some life experience before you generalize a whole region and its people...espeically the region you live in!

I have a stupid question. You are an architect and moved back there?
Why? Last time I checked all the constructon is happening down here and not up there?
oh yeah....because they need architects down there were all of the houses look the same. It wasn'treally a factor in us leaving..but I was very dissapointed in most of the new home construction going on in NC before we left. Every neighborhood had 3 floorplans to chose from, and the houses were all on zero-lot lines. NC's glory days as a comfortable place to relocate ended around 2005. I lived there from '94 (before it became the "in" place to relocate" until August '07 before myself and the wife decided we just didn't belong there any more and would rather have our youngest son raised up here in a more stable non-transient community with better schools and near family. I'm semi-retired at 45. I made good money in Raleigh working for myself; but NC just wasn't for me and my family anymore.
geos, didn't you post about the glories of Oneonta on this forum not too long ago? I seem to remember you singing its praises, along with some photos you posted. What changed your mind? Do you go to college there?

Went to college in Oneonta for two years. Hated it. Too boring, way too quiet, too rural and isolated for me. Most people there were from two extremes...either they had the downstate attitude or were big country music fans.
