there's a guy from my office moving to Nebraska too! He has four little girls though so I can kind of see how he'd be motivated to be back with his family. It doesn't sound like you have a lot of family in NE though.

Capital of Nebraska. Isn't it.

Man, that is one ugly, boring ass state. I drove across Nebraska once. Yikes

Well, I'm sure he can get a good deal on realestate there. That's the only positive I can think of. I hear Nebraskan corn is good. At least he'll be regular........if he likes corn.

Sounds like me with my friend in Detroit. I pretty much wrote off any trips to see him and his wife when he said he was going to be in that crap hole.

Used to live in a northern suburb of Detroit and worked in the medical school downtown. It was like driving into a war zone. The parking garage had 24-hr. armed guards, and you NEVER walked anywhere for lunch. It was pretty scary. The suburbs are really nice, though.

Actually I've found in my experience that a lot of people particularly in the suburbs of Detroit are pretty racist. That's one of my main beefs with Detroit.

Yes, I did hear some comments that were pretty shocking for this time in (I thought) civilization. It was quite an eye-opener at times. That doesn't change the very real danger in the city core, though.

Not long before we left, a postdoc from the med. school was walking home from work, was accosted by a 12-year-old boy with a gun who demanded money. She ignored him and continued to walk away, whereupon he shot her in the back and killed her. "But he's always been such a good boy" ... according to his loving Grandmother ... This seemed to be pretty much a daily occurrence in Detroit.

I wouldn't sweat in Detroit. I've spent time in Camden NJ.
