Incoming - Helping New Neighbors

PattMSShirt_edited.jpgHow do you help new neighbors that have just PCS'd into your area, when you hate the area you live in? 

Now I'm not saying I hate my current base, I'm saying I really really don't like the Washington DC, Northern Virgina, Maryland area, also known locally as "The DMV."

This thought popped into my mind about a week ago, just after we met our new neighbors picking up keys to their new house.  They seem like a nice family and had just pcs'd back from Korea to work at the Pentagon. As we were talking they started asking a bunch of questions about the area, and me being one not to hold back, I told them how I felt...

This area sucks!!! 

They were a little taken back with my honesty, and I'm sure that after a few weeks they will understand why I feel this way. I'm not sure if I should've sugar coated my response and explained to them why I feel this way. I hope they don't think I'm a weirdo and keep their distance now, because they seemed like a great family.

So my question to you all, and I would love to hear your thoughts, Do you sugar coat or tell it how it is?
