Why are people in rural areas usually very unfriendly and unhospitable?
You could say the same of the cities…a lot of people are rude there. While I’ve never been to the rural areas you mention, at least around here people move out to the rural areas because they’re sick of the city, etc. and a lot of them want to be left alone. That’s no excuse to be rude to you if you’re in their stores, etc. but maybe they worry about exactly what you’ve said if you post your pictures, thousands might be tempted to go and check it out themselves…and when a lot of people start liking an area because it’s charming and quiet and go there for that reason, well, then it’s not so charming and quiet anymore and the people who lived there all along for that reason are going to be understandably ticked.
