Are you seeing a lot of Ma$$holes?

That's funny on so many levels. NY produces the "oxygen" that so many layabouts in other states depend on to live.

Ohh yes, they produce a bunch. Which is why I'm not advocating turning the area into a nuclear wasteland. Just building a wall.

Southerners and Midwesterners often don’t have much use for the NE.

New York is a tax positive state, but a lot of those charts include military and other government spending. Southern states are where most of the major military bases are. Florida alone at least a half dozen major bases, and a bunch of minor bases.

Unfortunately a lot of them never left. The pandemic hit when they would normally leave.

The same also needs to be done with $hitcago. It’s a cesspool.

That entire region should be called Lower New York.

Or perhaps just a waste of oxygen?

Now now ...this place can be great, one just have to know where and when to be.

If you want to be first the opening day of REI's it's no surprise to me you encountered rude people. If anything I'm surprise you only encountered ONE rude person, I'd predict there will be more drama before your REI visit is complete.

I consider the northeners' behaviour just an ocean tax with no winter. Besides there's plenty of natives with less than optimal attitudes.

Our local REI actually just had one of their garage sales, but it was mid-week, unadvertised, gloves required, and only 5 people in the area at a time. Obviously quite the contrast to a normal REI garage sale.

I can kill hours in those outdoor stores

Looks shiny.

If you don't find your kayak maybe I can sell you mine.
Out of my 2, one already knows the routine for diving.
