My home town is a rich WASP paradise, which means I pretty much hate it. It's boring, there's little to do despite the two universities, and it's just not my thing. 20 miles away where I went to school and now work, I'm pretty integrated. Because of my job at the school (which also functions as a conference center,) I know people from a lot of local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, a lot of nonprofits, and of course all the students. People know me by name at the local bars and I know my way around downtown and the suburban area uptown. I might move down there in a year or two if I can afford it.
