I live in the Finger Lakes in the summer. People are very friendly there, generally speaking. Not as overtly friendly as here, IMO.
Also, I drove down from my NY home this year, with stops in Rockville, MD, Charlotte, NC, and St. Simons Island in GA. I tend to smile and say "good morning" to strangers. On most occasions along the way, when I did that, I got blank stares of surprise in return.
When I got to TV I got smiles and greetings in return. It was quite a noticeable change after the trip.

Funny, I'm right next to Rockville, MD, and I've adopted the "Villages Wave/Good Morning" when up here...
Most people, while sometimes surprised, return the greeting...
