Cliques....Hard to fit in

Calhoun is a charming town, but not open to newcomers. If you have not lived in this area for generations, several generations, it is hard to find a niche. As with most cities/towns in the South, if you are not from one of the Southeastern states, you are considered a "Yankee", which has definite negative stereotypes. I lived here for three years and have been miserable a good share of the time. The South has a reputation for being prejudice, and for good reason. It is not just to those who have darker skin than Caucasions, but to anyone who is not from the ten mile radius of where they were born, grew up and lived, alongside their "kin", their entire life. If you must come here, good luck.
