I lived once in Madison WI and the neighbors introduced themselves and threw block parties. We lived there another time and the neighbors would walk past on the street -- almost brushing shoulders -- and not say hello.

Maybe it's the luck of the draw.

I was born and raised in Minnesota, I married a girl from El paso, while stationed there
years ago, she happens to be Fillipino. We arriived back in Minn.and the people approached us in a different way then i remembered, they would talk to me, but often
would ignore my wife, she would become very uncomfortable among the so called Minnesota nice people. We are moving back to the El Paso area, after living in MN many years. I worked in Minneapolis for a lot of yrs. they have a reason for calling the city
" Murderapolis". laplander
