Default The Friendliest Hometown?

Yes! We closed on our new house at 2:30pm on Thursday the 5th on Jan. By the next afternoon barely 24 hours later we had meet our neighbors two houses in each direction. By Monday we had meet many more. Did we go in search of them? No. We just sat on our front porch drinking coffee. They would see us out there and stop for a chat. Monday evening we were invited to a get together they hold once a week and we meet more people than we can remember.

So a warning to those who are considering making TV your home. If you don't like meeting your neighbors or friendly people who seem to be sincerely interested in how you are doing, you may want to look elsewhere. I think I'll stay.

I realize that these are first impressions so I'll do more research and get back to you in 30 or 40 years.

Jim
