At least once a month here in Virginia.

I figure, "if it's so great there and it sucks so bad here, rather than kill yourself, why not just move back to NYC"?

and I actually like NYC.

Absolutely. Strike up a conversation with them for a few minutes. In time you will get the true story. Not that there's anything wrong with it. I'm all for transplants. I myself am a transplant here in Virginia. They ask me what its like in Ohio. I tell them its like Norfolk and Newport News. Short conversation, no one was offended, and they actually feel pretty good about themselves because it gives the impression that it must suck back home. I still love where I'm from, but not everyone needs to know that, nor do they care.

That's about the only real difference between someone from the Northeast, and someone from the Midwest. We know that people don't really give a s* about where we're from. But they'll ask anyway, because it is polite to do so. We've been the butt of jokes for decades. Surely, someone from elsewhere in America was talking s* about the Midwest back in 1890. But we take it all in stride.

New York is a bit different. It has been idolized and worshiped for decades. To be fair though, I don't mind New Yorkers. The true rudeness always seems to come from New Jersey for some odd reason.

Because we can do that duh. At the end of the day those new Yorkers didn't move down south because they wanted to.

The younger ones moved because their parents moved, and the older ones moved based only in cheap cost of leaving.

Idk why southern folk always ask the same dumb question.

Most of them move their cause their parents forced them or it cause of cheap cost of living. None of them go Down their for excitement. And yes a lot of places down south are boring especially when your used to and born in the city that never sleeps.

The question is rhetorical. What is wrong with having an open mind about where you're moving to? Particularly when the rest of America is shamed for not having an open mind about New York City?

Well I'm not defending it. I'm a open minded person and I usually make the best of where I am but I'm just telling you the real scenario of the new Yorkers who are down there.

Especially the younger ones who probably shed tears when their parents said their moving to ga , va etc.

It wasn't their choice so the NYC pride still stays with them.
