Not what you asked but there are no good places to buy gunpla unless you drive like an hour away.

1. The city and surrounding areas are very LGBT friendly but there are still assholes out there.
2. Unless it's a sports rivalry thing people don't really care where you're from.
3. Some people are friendly and outgoing. Others just want to keep to themselves. It will depend on your neighbors and where you hang out. Every dive bar will have a handful of chatty regulars.
4. It's not as much of a foodie city as other cities in the NE but there are restaurants that serve everything you asked about.
5. We just have fios. It almost never goes out. When it does it's usually a severe wind thing and it's back up within hours.

Have you considered Frederick? Two good gunpla shops and a pinball arcade
