When Joe Garber moved from Philadelphia to Jefferson County in 2015, he was not familiar with Montana, nor were Montanans familiar with him.Â
âWhen I first moved here,â Garber said, âeveryone thought I was Mexican, just because I have naturally darker skin.â When he first arrived, he said, people wouldnât let their children around him because he was the âlong-haired city kid.âÂ
Garber was thrust into unfamiliar situations and needed to adapt to a new environment. For instance, he was involved in a minor driving incident, after which he says a man followed him all the way to his destination and attacked his car. Garber says that an incident like that would likely have not occurred that way in Philadelphia: âIn Philadelphia, people would have just yelled at you and gone on with their day because, in Philadelphia, they have bigger problems to worry about than a fender bender.âÂ
