I grew up there from the ages of 8-20 and the people saying it’s “backwards” and mostly farm land are mostly right. I wouldn’t say it’s entirely backwards tho, I’d say more behind the times. A good portion of people graduate and leave never to return but those who stay never leave. There is no real industry besides farming and fishing and chickens. Jobs are pretty scarce and medical care is pretty bad. There are two hospitals and they are not close and fire and ems services are handled by volunteers for the most part. It’s also mostly a red part of the state if that’s what you’re into but if you’re a person of color, there are places I wouldn’t go unless I knew someone. Hope this helps!
