- It's hot. It was in the mid-nineties a couple of weeks ago at the end of June. It's cooled off since then, into the mid-eighties. But July and August are supposed to be hot here, with highs in the high-eighties. The rest of the year is usually mild.
- It's humid. It has rained a lot recently. The weather reports say we are above average for precipitation recently. I hope so. It's rained 2.5 inches at our house since yesterday evening.
- It's lush. I suppose it's a result of the two previous points. It's all very green here. A ten minute drive from our house takes you through forests and scenic high hills. The countryside is quite pretty.
- People are friendly and polite here. We noticed this right away. It is a welcome change from the Northeast. We have met several neighbors and feel welcome. Our next-door neighbor, an older gentlemen, has been particularly nice to us. He has lent us a dolly to help with moving, and supplies us with cucumbers from his garden. They are very good. Harvesting by mid June!
- It's tough to be a vegetarian here. This is a big barbecue town. It's also know for its "hot chicken" and "meat and three" restaurants. I'd like to try them all.
- There are churches everywhere. What bars are to parts of Milwaukee churches are to Nashville... there is one on every corner. It's hard to believe that so many churches could be supported.
- Overall, I like it here. I think it will be a nice place to live.
