I grew up small town, and loved most of the people there---so many friendly faces. Now I am used to city life, and if I get too far from a Starbucks, I panic!!

forgot to mention we have probably the only town in VT without a bed'n'breakfast, antique store, or other tourist attractions. And I love it that way!

Our little town is on the left as you go under the traffic light. the other side is rr tracks.

no stop light, no gas station, no school, no store, We do have a bait shop and a Post Office. Very small town.

I got married and moved a half mile down the road, and my dad grew up on the farm about 5 miles away, so I love this small town. But we do have a bank and we're down to one bar. The town is split down the middle by the line dividing 2 counties, but I have to tell you one thing.

About 5 years ago a family, knew the girl from high school, the guy won $100,00 from the lottery. Big news around here. Damn, if he didn't go in with 20 other peole and won again, his share was $20 million! He bought the ticket at the teeny tiny store next to his house.

I guess this town is so small we claim other peole's exciting events as our own.

I don't know why we have a bank, but it's been there since I was little, I'm 52.

I went to a department store once and a guy said "If you're not a (maiden name), you should be LOL We do kind of all look alike. I have 83 first cousins on my dad's side, and they started here and are well known here.

We're at the corner of the county, where it meets 2 others,so if the sheriiff comes this way patrolling, we're lucky. Which reminds me. This town is so small, that when a mother wants to teach a daughter a lesson, she tells the sheriff's office if there's anyone at this end of the county, could he help? He came, the daughter learned her lesson and hopefully when she's a doctor(she's trying for med school) she'll remember there were a lot of people who cared about her.
I'll stop now, the town's very small, but I like to write about it.

My little town has around 5 churches, a Casey's, a Dollar General Store (best thing that came to our town), post office, fire dept., city hall, a grocery store that is too high priced to go in. 3 eating places, 2 banks. elementary, middle and high school. Up until last year we didn't have a bar. Up until a couple of years ago we just had a red blinking light at the 4 way that goes through our town. Now it has the red, yellow and green. And it did take some getting use to. I love living in a small town. I live 8 miles from a college town with all the stores a body could imagine. Eight miles the other way and they have fast food places a few more grocery stores, still small town.

well my town may have about 300 people in it. we do rate a stop light.. probably because it's on a major road to vegas.

Central schools are quite common in Australia.
