[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 66489, member: 135"] Newport is a small town in north central NE with less than 200 people. I live in a small town in south central NE with less than 200 people so I have to assume a lot of the conditions will be similar. Summers will be hot (above 100 yesterday). Winters will be cold (sometimes below 0). Housing costs should be very low. Employment opportunities will not be all that great but I am assuming somebody in the family has a job or they probably wouldn't be going there. The good things about living in rural NE are low housing costs, friendly neighbors, good elementary and high schools, low crime rates, sense of community (neighbors look out for each other). The bad things are less than comfortable weather conditions, lack of cultural and shopping opportunities (I am 70 miles from the nearest place to shop for anything other than basics), lack of intellectually stimulating opportunities, lack of good jobs, need for a good car and the willingness to commute for work, shopping, movies, etc. Also a lot of rural NE has a high incidence of drug use but I can't speak for her area specifically. Tell her I said "Welcome to Nebraska." I hope she likes football because that will be the main topic of conversation from now till at least November and till January if the Cornhuskers go to a bowl game. [/QUOTE]
