growing up there would be a good reason to enjoy it. It's your home.
I grew up in Salt Lake and ended up in New York for school and hated it there. While I don't mind discussing political differences, the fact that I was a white, conservative, Republican, LDS male from Utah taught me really quick that we folks out here in Utah have a long way to go to equal the intolerance of a New York liberal.
Of course, I say I hated it, but there were times that it was really a lot of fun yanking chains. There were so many to yank but 4 years wasn't enough time to get to all of them.
