I think the 'man' has this area under pretty good lock-down.
You really have to be from around here or know someone, otherwise, it's tough. The person who was helping me out dropped off the face of the earth in early Jan. I'm kicking myself for not widening my network of contacts when I had the chance.

I'm a recent immigrant from the ATL who grew up in Florida. Much easier to approach people in the South, IMO.
