Exactly. And, I've seen stories lately where the tourists aren't what
you'd consider as "ideal" in their behavior.
After the Marshall plane crash movie I ran into a lot of people who
came to see the Memorial Fountain, the memorial at the cemetery and so
on. The vast majority of them were very nice people.
The main problem with tourists are not paying attention in traffic and causing problems.
The first time I visited Morgantown (to check at the university on this
and that before I moved) I went down a street and people were honking and waving. I thought "Gee this is a friendly town" until I realised I was
going the wrong way on a one way street. I quickly corrected that matter.
