I pretty much laughed my way through the book. I'm with PTurner -- Blechman's mind was made up long before he wrote the book or visited here. He found his stereotypes (and they do exist) and ignored every good thing about our wonderful community -- his loss.

And, Jen, while some of us might criticize certain aspects of TV, it doesn't mean we don't love it. We do. That doesn't mean we have to love every aspect of TV, but I'm sure those that don't like the rules (count me in there, but there was a simple solution -- don't move south of 466), the laws, etc. have found so much to love here that they really can't conceive living anywhere else. It's kind of like I love my cat but I really, really hate when she coughs up a furball.
