I found the people in Twin Cities very friendly for the most part. Other places not so much. We or I lived in the Milwaukee area; Reno, Nevada; Scottsdale, AZ; Provo, UT; Denver, CO; Belmont, CA;
Pleasanton, California - Wikipedia; Itasca, IL; Minneapolis, MN; Palm Harbor, FL; and here in the Villages since June or so of 2005.
I thoroughly ****ed off the powers that were for a number of years in Palm Harbor, FL so that, at times, did not go very well. Sent out way too many e-mails.
I was nursing, sort of, a local hero in Itasca, IL before he went in long term care so people were very friendly there. My Uncle passed while I was there and he had been the Itasca Fire Chief. Firefighting crews from all over Chicagoland came. My charge was my Uncle who lost an arm, a leg and part of his skull while his scouting platoon fended off scores of Germans during the Battle of Anzio. He got a Silver Star for it but kept it in his attic and rarely spoke of that battle unless reliving it on occasion due to episodes of PTSD.
