- Friendly People! With all the people moving in from other states, Sumner County has somehow retained it’s Southern Charm. I recently had a client that had just moved here – and she ended up with a flat tire and was on the side of the road. She said a man stopped and changed her tire even though he was in a shirt & tie. She told me that ‘moss would have grown on her before anyone would have helped her before’. That made me feel proud to live here.
