@"Ninurta", that sounds like the way it was where I was raised. We didn't like "ferners" coming in to our small community either. It didn't take people coming in to buy summer homes long to realize they weren't welcome. We had our own ways and we didn't want change. They would stay a year or so, and then sell out. Guess they got tired of the evil stares that got from their neighbors.
When I go back to visit these days, things are completely different. Most all the people I grew up with have moved out (like me), or they're dead. Vacation homes have been built on mountain tops to allow for the beautiful scenic views, and large lots of land have been cleared to sell to "ferners" to build houses where thick forests used be.
I don't recognize much of anything being as it once was. As people moved out and died off, those left became more tolerant of others moving in, but one thing remains... there are still children of true "mountain people" there and you best not mess with them.
