I had some apprehension about east coast politeness. I witnessed the difference in airports several years ago. In California, the flight attendants begged people to get on the plane.
In Newark, when they announced preboarding, burly men in suits elbowed old ladies and children aside.
But today as I walked around the front of a car that had pulled too far into the crosswalk, the driver apologized to me. Didn't have to, just being polite.
We see a lot of politeness here. Makes us smile.
