We wave, which I thought was the polite thing to do in America's friendliest home town, just to be ignored. When we go to the pool we are basically ignored. We are not your stereotypical "problem" adult children living here. We add to the economy, we maintain our home and you won't find us being obnoxious town squares. What exactly are we not doing correctly.
We have been coming here for ten years. Bought and live here now for over 5 years. I always smile and wave at the same time. Almost always receive a return friendly greeting. So for us it is the worlds Freindlyist Home Town.
