The few times I’ve been in Chicago, the place has left me cold and feeling bleak. It probably didn’t help that it was windy, raining, and dreary basically all of the time I was there — so maybe spending a week there when it’s sunny in summer would change my view.

agree, I rather snowboard in Tahoe, Vail, whistler, etc than central park or anywhere near my house.
Florida is on the East Coast last I checked. Nothing wrong with getting away for a few days, but I’m in NYC by choice. Not because anyone forced me to live here 🙂
Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell.
It is an excellent book, and has me thinking I should relocate to NY or Boston, maybe even VT.
Picking up on what spdrun said, outside of NE and maybe San Francisco and a few other areas, I’ve always felt a lack of civility in this country – the dominant redneck culture that is so pervasive.

paramount, did you ever stop to think that you may have come upon this feeling of “lack of civility in your countrymen” honestly? After all, you moved yourself (from SD?) to TV, near, if not actually within the “SoCal `epicenter’ of `redneck culture'” :=]
