What I have felt during several visits to TV is a warm sense of close (but not closed) community. Singles in TV not only frequently socialize but look after one another. Everyone has moved from somewhere else and seems to be open to meeting new people and developing new friendships. In my hometown social groups are pretty much long term and fixed in place. I have long term friendships but it can be difficult to develop many new ones other than by joining large church groups.

I am not asking for anything personal, just general thoughtful observations.

Thank you!
I've been up in the cold snowy north for the last three weeks for the Thanksgiving holiday. It's great to see my family and friends, but I can't wait to get back to TV. It's not just the weather, but my activities and catching up with all the people I know. The fact that I can't wait to get back
really shows what a great place TV is for a single person.
