Welcome!

We've been here three years now, and our expectations of TV, which were high to begin with, have been exceeded in almost every way. Great people, wonderful recreational opportunities, convenient shopping for just about everything you can imagine, and people who genuinely care about one another. I take regular afternoon walks and the number of complete strangers who offer me rides (often a bottle of water as well) is impressive. I've never been to Massachusetts but my guess (correct me if I'm wrong) is that up there, offering a complete stranger a ride in your vehicle is considered the height of folly. Down here, in my experience, it is something that is done with regularity.

As for the naysayers--TV is like everywhere else. We have our share of folks who aren't going to be satisfied until everyone is as miserable as they are. But they, though admittedly noisy, are few and far between. Ignore them.
