Yes you should come, hang out and participate in local activities. That way you will meet real people as opposed to hacks. So do that, join a class, a program, am arts group, church, mosque, synogoge, the 4% people, something POSITIVE, this will lead to a more positive critical mass. No PUT@$ and shady stuff and you will do well.
I don't know what you like so I can't recommend anything that I might find fascinating.
