This is one of my favorite shows on HGTV. I am so much of a fan that I also belong to their FB group. Which I do not do for any of the other shows that I enjoy. However, people need to learn where to draw the line. it's a television show and neither the town nor this couple belong to us, which seems to be how some people view them.
I personally wonder how much longer they are going to do the show. Hometown has been great for the town of Laurel, basically helping to revive a dying town but some of the fans are just getting ridiculous.
People come in from out of town and will go to the homes of the people who have their homes remodeled and ask for a tour of the home. This is not a one and done, it seems to happen frequently. One Laurel family came home and out of town foks were just sitting on their front porch as if they lived their. Just last week I read where some fans had found out the location of Bens and Erins home and were sitting out front taking pictures of them in the home.
I do not understand people who say that because they are in the public realm this type of behavior is allowed. No, people it's not. This is not acceptable behavior at all.
