I'm moving, I think.
Hat:
Not too many, surprisingly. Backpackers typically gravitate towards places with reasonably attractive women. Even the ugly ones.
Tom:
Gotta admire their confidence

I like a lot of the bigger cities of the Midwest (Chicago, Minneapolis/ St. Paul, Madison), although I'm sorta biased. The rural small-town areas just depress me, however. I drove through rural Iowa last week and wanted to shoot myself. Just a bunch of ignorant, poor, obese rednecks with no purpose in life. Probably why they drink so much. Aside from binge drinking, there's also really high rates of meth use in rural midwest areas due to the availability of many of the chemical ingredients from fertilizers used on farms.
(I hope I haven't offended any rural midwest folk with this)

As a rural Midwesterner, I'm sorry that our meth isn't up to the snuff of the driveby shootings, gang beatings, and crack use in your big cities.
Hope you're not offended, either.;)

Man, Iowa is quite possibly my least favorite state of those that I have been to.
I too grew up in the rural Midwest (Minnesota, yay!) and pretty much hated it. Now I am living in Fargo for college, which is a vast improvement aside from the fact that it's flat as all hell and windy all the time. Once I graduate from here I kinda want to go to grad school in Minneapolis or St. Paul so I can see how I like living in a bigger city. And from there, who knows?
So basically what I am saying with this is that you need to move around the U.S. a couple of times before you write the whole country off on account of one shitty area that you have lived in.

Your idea of a big city is Minneapolis or St. Paul?
