Explorations of a Life
This is what Julia says in her column with examples of why she feels the midwest is friendlier than say New York. I have to disagree having spent most of my life living in the midwest, but also some time in New York.
It depends on how we define friendly. I agree with her that for the casual, passerby type friendly, the kind that requires no investment, the midwest is friendlier. If however we are talking friendly as in creating lasting friendships, inviting people into your homes, and truly accepting them, then my hat is off to New York, every time.
