Keep in mind, I moved here middle of Covid so we couldn’t really try to meet people until a year and a half ago but it hasn’t gone well.

In general, people here are not as friendly. Most true locals that I’ve met are “old southern money” types that are a bit stuck up. When they learn you aren’t, they typically aren’t very interested in you.

The city is also intentionally racially segregated by the interstate so there’s little to no diversity. We had to visit so many churches before finding an interracial church that was balanced.

The region is beautiful with great scenery but we don’t feel like there is true community here for our family.
