Well, I for one think changes are happening. We moved here 10+ yrs ago and it was, without doubt, a great place to live and meet people. However, TV has grown massively over the past 10 yrs and with that growth we lost the small town feel which was very inviting. On the other hand, with the growth we gained the stores, the medical expertise and the other necessities of the big city life we all wanted. So, it is what it is.
It is still a great place to live and they will have to carry us out!
