It is just a human thing, like the grass is greener on the other side of the fence!
We all like to roam, and in our minds we think it would be better some where else.

well I grew up on the Missouri side, had family on both sides of the line, I HATE it there. The weather sux, way to humid and hot in the summer, and its just stupid cold in the winter.
I got out of there as fast as I could (joined the army) Im now in Colorado and absolutly love it. I use to go back just, for Christmas, not anymore, I make family come out here, lol if I ever go back there, it will be to soon

I have lived in Kansas. Driving for hours without seeing anything and putting up with the worst drivers in the world, made me go home.

The SE area of PA was settled by serfs from Germany's Palatinate region. They were good with oxen in the old country but cars..........

not so much.

That's too bad that a lot of you guys don't like it! I love the place, and can't wait to go back!

I've lived in Kansas for my whole life, mostly in Overland Park. It's a bit of a different feel here than a lot of Kansas. I think the space has a lot of cool history, geography, and geology but I enjoy vacations to climb, bike, or ski in Colorado for summers or winters quite a bit. Could be worse... could be Iowa.

Have they fixed the water? When I lived in the KC area, the water on the Kansas side was nasty.

I've never minded it, we all drink straight from the tap in my house. It can get funky in the hottest parts of a dry summer but still tolerable.
