My wife and I are both hermits - introverts and not very social creatures. So, we tend to not join in neighborhood events like driveway parties and things.

Since moving here, we have been making it a point to wave, smile and nod at anyone and everyone as we drive around or are getting the mail or whatever. I would say about 99% of those that notice us wave and smile back.

It is sad some here in TV have had other experiences, but our experience is this is the friendliest home town we have ever live in.

Online is a tad different, but in person people always seem friendly to us.
