Have family in Moscow, Kansas, they are very small towns
|
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.
