East Coast vs. West Coast


I know my damn ass should be packing. Just need to jot down my thoughts, real quick before I forget. Ya'll know ole timers is setting in, lol.

Anyway,

I was thinking about the East Coast and my experience out in Cali. Why is it that the people over there seem to be alot more laid back and carefree?

Why is it that West coast peeps seem to be angry, mean and fearful? Really, what's so different in the two areas that makes peeps behave and think so differently?

Here's a scenerio: I went to the bar downstairs at my hotel in Cali and all the tables were taken. So, I walked up to the bar and there was this drink sitting there but no one in the seat. I asked the gentlemen, was anyone sitting there? He turned and said, No. "But, I would love for you to." I never heard anyone say that before and the best part was that after geniune conversation, he was born in Cali but lives in Philadelphia. Small world, I know.

He was a real gentleman and never once carried a Thug like conversation or ghetto minded attitude. His statement lefted a lasting impression on me and I will never forget it. "No, But I would love for you to." What the hell, I thought he gave me a nice innocent compliment.

You don't get that here. Men here in West Coast or at least in Wheeling, Ohio, PA seem to behave differently towards women. At least all the ones I met. Seem to be thuggish, ghetto minded or they treat women as if we don't deserve.

I'm just wondering what the difference is on East Coast vs West? Is it the air or water? Really, what is it?
The peeps over there just seem to be very laid back and very carefree.

Clueless on the differences, but left a lasting impression on my Stella moment.
