If you like any outdoor activities this is not the place for it. Miserably hot summers and bone cold winters where the constant wind bites at you. Regular threat of storms producing large hail damaging your vehicle and roof, plus the occasional tornado. Many areas in the city and surrounding prone to flooding. All flat land or rolling hills, so no dramatic scenery or any interesting natural water or rocky formations. No big or successful sports teams. Poor cell phone service coverage outside city limits. They try to have festivals and such but its pathetic in comparison to say Kansas City, Denver, Dallas, or Austin. We totally lack any culture, and our only claim to fame (Air Capitol of the World) is now just a title since we regularly lose airplane production jobs to other states and countries. Voting turnout is low except for the Neo-conservatives who elect total nut jobs to run the state. People gave up voting since a reasonable person (R or D) can't get elected. We never run into any budget issues, but everything else is a nightmare government wise.

People aren't mean, but not very social. Its not easy to meet new people outside of who you already know, possibly because there's so few places that provide an environment conducive to socializing. Lot's of overweight/unhealthy people because there's not much incentive to go outside and do something.
