I don't have to visit a place to know I would hate it. Thanks to the magic of the modern news media, the interwebs (including the "source of all knowledge, wikipedia), and common sense most people can generate a general idea of whether you'll like a place or not. And I'm not talking about BS stereotypes.

I lived of the coast(yes there's a beach in Mississippi) for many years. I accepted work there and thought I would hate it. Turns out I love it! The people there are GREAT. I remember strangers offering me and my family a place to stay when Katrina took our home. San Diego will always be home and where I'm happiest but Biloxi, MS is a close number 2.

Oh goodness, you were here for snow. That would strike fear into anyone I believe.
