Me, I grew up in the midwest; Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin. Mostly small towns, but when I joined the Navy in the early '70s, it was mostly cities; San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston, Orlando, Philadelphia...and Tulsa. Interestingly, I find people in big cities tend to be more accepting, if not downright friendly toward new people. I find people here in Maryland tend to have that stand-offish attitude toward anyone not from here (about 2.5 hours south of evil DC). Have a good night, all.

PS: Does anyone remember Townsend Top Shop?

Interesting side note; I was a Navy wife for 15 years myself. That is a whole different culture...military life. That in itself, being a Navy dependent and being thrust into the Military base culture, helped me alot with relocating and assimilating where ever I went.

Try volunteering to get enough signatures to vote on legalizing medical marijuana in Oklahoma. Get a sign, the two petitions, and hang out on a busy street corner. You don't have to do it alone. You can help at locations where they are taking signatures at a pop up tent. Oklahoma HQ is in Tulsa. You might run into some fun people. More info at: https://oklahomansforhealth.com/. Scroll down the page for more info.
