I'm not here to "defend" Wildwood. I consider Wildwood to be a typical old, small, rural community. There are thousands like it from coast to coast. In fact, there are many communities surrounding TV that are just like Wildwood.

When we moved here, I was surprised to learn that the areas surrounding TV are so rural. There are many cattle ranches and horse training/boarding farms throughout the area. There are also individual homes sitting on lots of varying sizes. So there ends up - in some areas - a rundown home on an acre of land sitting next to a palatial home on a 40 acre ranch. Is this different than TV? Of course it is. Is it less that desirable? In my opinion, I don't think so.
Nice post Mike.
