Sometimes people from a given region get a reputation for something - being kind, smelly, tall, jolly, or rude. Like all stereotypes, you can always find supporting and contradicting cases.
We recently went to Toronto for a conference. People from Toronto seem to have developed a rep for being rude and always in a rush - or so tv tells me. In fact that it was just the opposite. People would stop and offer to help (as we're taking arm shot photos), help me with things when the bags I had dumped, and were generally just really pleasant.
I'm really happy that this stereotype seems to have been proven wrong in this case. ;-)
