I live in a small town. Like another poster, my town used to be a huge, booming town with 4 railroads coming through about 100 years ago. We have a few stores but not much. And the sidewalks roll up by 7. We have to travel for most everything. My daughter says she loves that she grew up in a small town - but has no intention of staying here. Ha I see her in new york. I love living in a rural area. :D
