Some refer to people in TV with having more money than brains coming from various service people that come in from the outside. They say those people are dumm and wealthy enough to take the first quote and pay too much.
Some say people from the New England states are snobs, terrible drivers and think Florida
owes them moving here.
I believe we all heard before some of this before

All that national negativity proves, in my opinion, is that sensationalism and sleaze sells far better than rainbows and unicorns. Articles that talk about hobby clubs and water aerobics might be good for travel brochures or the occasional Sunday supplement magazine, but the REAL money is in stories and shows about alcohol abuse, key clubs and rampant STDs, regardless of whether they're true or not.
More concerning should be the attitudes of the people next door, not the people on the other side of the continent.
