What is wrong with you people?
(not rhetorical)
A big pet peeve of mine is when I run into someone I haven't seen in a few years. You do the small talk thing wity them and they eventually ask where you're living nowadays. When you tell them Manhattan they always seem to give off the vibe that you are a lesser person for never leaving here after college. I usually follow up by asking about their 40 minute commute in JoCo and which relative bought them the I Miss Manhattan t-shirt that they're wearing.
Fair play, brother... I was just being a smart ass anyway.
I totally get it. I have loads of friends from MHK some of whom have stayed and others who moved away for their own varying reasons.
Although I am originally from south central Kansas, I actually considered staying at one point and it still crosses my mind at times to move back. It's a great town & nobody should ever have to make excuses about loving to live there.
