more friendlier than the midwest. People in the midwest where I have lived my whole life are not nice people. They don't give a dam about others and they don't chat with you. They don't help strangers. But why down south why is it the opposite? People help strangers, people smile, people want to know how your day is going, people go out of their way to assist you, etc. I went to Louisville, Kentucky this summer and everyone there was very polite and friendly. Here in St. Louis, Missouri, the people suck. This place is so segregated and I feel like I was born in the wrong city. I love reaching out to others and I love being friendly. When I went to Kentucky that state was right up my ally. Everywhere I went I had a smile on my face because they made me feel good about myself. Here in St. Louis I get dirty looks everywhere. I am white, and the white people here are all a bunch of jerks out in the suburbs. Its just ignorant. So why are different parts of America more friendlier? Does it surprise you that St. Louis is not a friendly city? lol And its funny everytime the southerners who are visiting Missouri call up my store they always say wow your so friendly we like that about you. But no Missourians or Illinois people ever say that. People here suck. I am definitely the odd ball and the funny part is I grew up here, but I have a southern heart. People don't even hold the door open for you in St. Louis. I walk into gas stations all the time and say thank you sir for holding the door and he doesn't say you're welcome. In the south they all say I am welcome. And they smile. But here it just sucks. This isn't home for me. I belong down south it just sucks because I don't want to leave my family, but at the same time I am not happy here.... Read More »
