We lived in Conneticut for three years and got the same impression.  If your
family hadn't been there for 5 generations you were an outsider.  The only
friendly people we found there were other mid-west transplants.

BTW:  My first bike was a 56 flathead KHK , second 71 FX, then went Jap
with a KZ900 which I rode to work every day until I moved to St. Louis.
6 months on the interstate convinced me that I wouldn't live a year
commuting
on a bike.
