I'm very surprised by this. I found the people to be as nice as could be! They bent over backwards to help, and I never felt the least bit uncomfortable. In fact, in several of the articles I've done for Fire & EMS Virginia magazine, I've commented that the folks (and areas) in far Southwest Virginia were some of the nicest that I've ever met. Granted, they'll openly admit that they're 20 years behind the rest of the world down there, but even with the obvious lower incomes in the area, I never felt uncomfortable.

Even for us "Yankees"?
