diverse but divided
Yes GB is becoming more diverse, but its not easy being a minority in this town. I see many people acting "uncomfortable" when they are around minorities. I have experienced these situations through my latino husband. Racism and ignorance still exists in GB. The job market is good as long as you know someone who is a prominent lifetime local or you don't mind making $8 an hour. The "Good Ole Boy" network is alive and well here. I live in De Pere and would have to say its probably the "nicest" area around; quaint downtown, nice homes and lawns, decent parks, and great schools. But it still isn't for me. Fortunately my husbands job enables him to move elsewhere in the country, so we are looking forward to doing that once the local housing market turns around (hopefully Summer '08). Anyone looking for a 2 year old 1600 square foot home? If I could describe the area in one word it would be insular. But who knows, many people love it here and wouldn't live anywhere else. Good on ya, but I'm gone asap.
