Things I Learned in North Carolina

sawdoff said

my complaint is people moving in because of how much they love it here then start changing it to suit them. Before long its what they left in the first place.

i dont watch nascar and could care less about what color you are as long as you work hard and mind your own business. thats how the people from here are.

You aren't the only one. Where I am from they closed down the local race track because the people who moved in from up north and florida said it was too loud. So it got turned into a bicycle race track and a place for everyone in the city to walk their dog. Now half of the people in the city have dread locks and congregate at the "Drum circle" where they literally beat on drums for half of the night. Outsiders have changed a lot where I am from, we used to have a lot of small farms and large ones in the area, and a lot of tractor dealerships. Now there are virtually none. A few years ago someone tried to file a suit against a farmer for spreading manure on his fields because it stunk a little. The man had been farming for his whole life and never had a complaint until someone who "wanted to live in the country" moved in and tried to change the environment that he desired.
