“I don’t quite get the attempted distinction between East and West Coasts.”
I lived both places for a long time each. They are very very different in that respect.
AN,
Unless you grew up and lived there a long time there is no reasonable expectation that you would understand the difference. The difference is out West many people are starting businesses while back East there are TONS of family owned very successful businesses that have been around for 50 to 100 years. Out here most of the communities havent existed that long!
The example I provided was but one. I could sit here all day and write similar stories.
