I was born and raised in NJ and lived there my entire life until moving here 10 years ago. Believe me, life here is very different than in NJ. You turn into a kinder, gentler person living in this kinder, gentler community.

For those of us who live here year round, our lives get more complicated in the summer with the explosion of our population for three months. We know the local merchants need that infusion of revenue and certainly support tourism to our town. Although the majority of the tourists seem to be enchanted by our friendly and very civil community and behave the same way in return, in recent years I've witnessed more frequent rude behavior around town in shops, the market, restaurants, in cars from tourists. That kind of tourist we can do wit out.
