Typically, people who move here, that don't do their homework first, end up moving out. There are no billboards, no signs along the road except tiny ones, no franchises, no sprawl, no instant anything. Just lots and lots of trees and fields and people who want to be left alone. High taxes, noisy cows and sheep, more dirt roads than paved and lots of hills, mountain range and "You can't get there from here" sort of crap. Few chain stores except in two or three small cities. Lots of farm machinery in the roads slowing down traffic and winter. Tourists all summer clogging up the roads. lol, but, it is beautiful.....lol. Around 630,000 souls is all. Half might be cows...
Small state, narrow and long with a mountain range running right up the middle of it. When I first moved here I was pissed and annoyed all the time at the lack of road billboard signs. How in the hell did anyone know where anything was? Well, after 12 years I now know where everything is and don't need the signs either. We have more dirt roads than paved, more villages than towns, two Auto Zone stores, like a half dozen or so McDonalds and Burger Kings, one Olive Garden that I know of, one VA hospital, the capital is in a mountain valley hidden from casual sight, the upper right section is called The North East Kingdom and feels like a different state..
