Seth has it pretty much nailed. My bro lives their and I visit all the time.
Coming from Chicago, the all whiteness of the town is almost shocking and actually a bit of a turn off. Everyone has an air of self satisfaction, maybe it's just me, but you can almost feel it everywhere you go. It gets old but I guess it depends on where you are coming from. Some people might not even notice it, but if you come from blue collar roots, you'll feel it.
Summer is awesome there, great weather, so much within driving distance, and probably the cleanest major city you will ever visit.
Winter is all rain though.
Pretty cheap.
