Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5234216, member: 12414"] We have and we can agree to disagree. People have different experiences. On this one I was just agreeing with Ruff and added more context to my experience. I have been around the board long enough to understand you are very knowledgeable in many aspects of not only CBB but basketball in general. I think your opinion brings value to the Yard and that is a good thing. I know many people like you who moved to the Midwest from the east coast and feel just like you do. Unfortunately, for me I guess, is that I had a different experience. But I grew up in a rough part of CT and always have carried an edge especially when I was younger so I could have been the problem more than the people around me. I loved South Carolina and still have friends in that state. Some have passed but the group I played golf with and we were young in our late twenties early thirties have gotten together on a regular basis. If I could I would move to South Carolina again in a heartbeat. Wife and kids not so much. I made plenty of friends while I lived in Chicago and have some great memories especially with playing steel tip darts at the highest level of the Windy Cindy Masters league for 7 years. So I spent a lot of time in the pubs in the city. So with the blue collar folk I agree they are tough and in your face but the business people I worked with….college educated in the Midwest…..are mostly who I am referencing in these posts. After 15 years in Palm Beach having one child born in Chicago and one down here and growing up in CT, were I am now feels like home to me and I am happy there are more people from New York and CT than the Midwest where I live. I get them better and I guess they get me better. [/QUOTE]
