When I lived there it was just what I would call good country people. Now I live in Houston where everyone does crack or huffs gasoline. I'm sure there are some racists and some people with no internet...honestly that's sprinkled everywhere. Mountain people are always a skosh more peculiar IMO. Maybe it's thinner air, I dunno...It's really a foothill of the Appalachians more than a true mountain but you can't drive too crappy of a car up that steep grade regularly. I lived at the bottom of another "mountain" and there really seemed to be a difference between those who lived "on the mountain" and those who did not. Now that I moved away, it seems it is just not the same anymore in the rural communities. Old timers die and their kids who were raised to value education and work hard seem to move off and find a good job. The only people who will rent the houses in the boonies then are people who are embarrassed to death by crap jokes and misspelled, gooberhead ballgame signs. Recipe for trouble. It's really sad.
FIFYYou've changed my mind about mountain people...
They're a skosh peculiar AND too sensitive
