“I would describe it as … a hidden piece of Americana where time almost stands still. … it's kind of that throwback culture and community. I describe us more as a Norman Rockwell [painting], that we're current, but we have an identity . . . nostalgic.”

“There is a balance of the country quaint. If you go a little bit north, or a little bit to the outskirts, Romeo feels like, to me, like it's frozen in time . . . it feels like Mayberry.”
