We live in a little city, about 5,000 people in 2.5 square miles. Mostly residential, but we do have fast food, some offices, a Dollar General and some small manufacturing. We share a border with several larger cities, and share a school district with one. Because we are a suburb of Akron, and only an hour from Cleveland, we have lots of shopping nearby but don't have the traffic that goes with it. Two state universities, Akron and Kent, within a 15 minute drive. And Amish country is less than an hour south. More fabric stores than I can count, all within an hour's drive.
