On The Way!

Guess that's kinda what I figured, since that was the third comment along those lines.  I can certainly understand  that, I'd probably have the same kinda doubt if the situation was reversed.  We were going to move to Colorado, but it is getting so "Californicated," as they say, that we didn't want to move there and watch a great Western state get destroyed.
So the good news is:  I don't have any Damn Yankee ways to bring  with me.  And I'm damn glad of that!
 

It certainly wasn’t anything personal at all. Folks who think like you do will fit right in with no problem at all based on my experience.

As others have noted, some folks think they need to move places like TN so they can “fix” everything to be more like CA, NY, MA, IL, etc.

But I genuinely welcome you and think you will like it!

Thank you!  I go out to Wyoming about every other summer and visit my buddy's ranch outside of Dubois.   When we go into the local bars, people I haven't met yet ask where I'm from, and when I say "Chicago" they just about go into a catatonic state.  Then I laugh and smile, and say something like "NO!  Don't worry, I'm not one of THEM!"   It breaks the ice real fast and we get to talking, and they see real fast that we're on the same page.  So I have no worries.

Welcome to the neighborhood,  this really is a nice place.  Don't take the "change" comments personally, it probably doesn't apply to you. Many do move and try and change things to what they left, strange but true.  I find that if you move to a place you like, leave it alone and all will be well.

 I know a good thing when I see it.
