Not really an attractive tow, but usually very friendly.
Local people are very accepting of newcomers. Probably because of the perception that it is a tourist town.
Unfortunately, the only tourist value in the town is the ability to have an out of town weekend cabin, usually owned by individuals from Atlanta or somewhere in Florida.
The main portion of the town is very economically depressed and there is no viable economic development other than real estate development, which is really hurting now. (Spring, 2011)
No local entertainment, no community activities, weak educational system, moderate road maintenance, decent utilities, building inspection and code enforcement only in effect for approximately ten years.
