Fortunately we moved when I was 6 to SoCal. SoCal ain't great (it was better back then), but it is infinitely better than Huntington. After we buried my dad and then my grandma, my mom and I have absolutely no interest in ever returning.

So long as you are of the right tribe (religion and race), the people can be very warm. They stepped up to host an after-funeral reception at my grandma's funeral (we had planned to have some pizzas at the motel with immediate family).
