An angry blog exchange
"I can't stand it when people claim that Montreal is a "European city in North America," Montreal and Quebec are Vegas crossed with a West Virginia trailer park, full of dumb people who can barely talk and women who will sell themselves for a buck"
Response:
I lived in Vegas for 8 years. There is no need to cross Vegas with a West Virginia trailer park, in fact I’d argue that’s insulting to West Virginia and people who live in trailer parks (although I get that you were just making a point). Allow me to elaborate:
Vegas is a cesspool. The only good people there are a few that were born there. Most are illegal immigrants (vast majority), girls with fake **** and the personality of a tree stump who may or may not be in porn, people who are escaping from the law or some other trouble, (cont)
Boomers who live to **** away their last nickel, cheap a******* (bc no income tax), losers who think they are in the UFC, losers who think they are boxers, degenerate gamblers, insufferable idiots from SoCal who watched “Swingers” too many times, & other people w/serious defects.
Everyone who moves to Vegas is escaping something or there to rip you off, or both. The education system sucks. The public transit is 3rd world level. It’s chock full of illegal immigrants and degenerates and it shows. I can’t say enough bad things about this ****ing dump. End

Regarding Cary... My initial impression when I went there was that it was extremely... ghetto...? Maybe I was in the wrong area? I had a train transfer when I was travelling on Amtrak recently, and stayed there for a few hours. Decided to walk around town a bit, and it wasn't particularly pretty...
I'm going to guess, based on what I have read in several threads, that this was just a bad part of town, and that most of it isn't like that?
Are you sure you're not thinking of a different city? I just did a streetview around the Cary station, and it looks nice to me. And I can't think of any trains that one would use Cary as a transfer between.
"Two hours from everywhere you'd rather be"
(referring to the city's oft-touted proximity to San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Napa, Marin County, Silicon Valley, etc.)
Big Tomato, Sacratomato

Vegas is the one of the few cities
