My hope is to avoid any such unpleasantness in the first place by just talking to folks. It's a cool little town and everyone I've met so far has been really nice, and generous. I met one guy, maybe late 30s, who told me he owns about 1/3 of the town. I was photographing one of his properties at the time. He has degrees in aeronautics and works at the biggest research facility in Antarctica 9 months out of the year. He was home for vacation and to attend to some home projects. He invited me into the house he lives in, talked about the local history, and was a geniunely lovely person. We swapped contact info for the future. Nice people.
