We drive slow in towns because 1) we want to show respect to the people who live there, so they can cross the street, walk their dogs, pull out of their driveways etc without getting clipped and 2) cops often do speed traps in small towns

Okay, cool. I get both of those even tho I have not seen too many cops here. In Florida many ppl would zoom past my house at like 12-3am and it was horrible so I like that I see so many ppl respecting it here.

I'm a GA transplant and two things to note that are different from everywhere else in the country: they don't have entrapment laws here so cops can hide in bushes and they also don't have a 10mph buffer so you can get pulled over for being 1mph over. It took me awhile to slow down, but it's better than losing your license.

We just have a slower pace of life up here. Everything is slower and more relaxed.

It used to be, won’t be for long with the influx of new residents. Oh well.

Yeah, I grew up on a 25 acre farm in Addison County. My hometown hasn’t changed much except now the general store is a chocolate company. Other than that it’s pretty much the same.
