Nice enough yet unfriendly

Originally from the NorthWest, where I thought people were rude, and I've traveled a bit and lived in the south west as well. After living her for three years, I can say with confidence that it is a pretty town, with some nice features like the small town atmosphere. However if you are looking to meet people and make friends or even just have a limited social life, dont expect to have it here unless you are from the area originally. Locals are polite enough but really dont welcome outsiders. And forget about getting good customer service while your here because it really hardly ever actually occurs. I think people here are just used to loyal customers and doing the bare minimum of the job they are hired for, but not really out to make an impression or get new clients. If you're looking for a service or even just good old fashioned hospitality it doesnt exists here. You will learn to do it yourself, and bug the heck out of businesses if you want something done. Otherwise, if you are a hermit and you dont want people bothering you ever.... this is a nice little tourist town, and the surrounding areas are easy to get to and its close to the beach. I like the weather here, because of the four distinct seasonal changes. Most of my neighbors are very nice, But I'm looking forward to retirement elsewhere, where the people who want real relationships and hospitality is common.
