Any small town folks here?

[Silvanis]

I live in a place so small it isn't even considered a town. Anyone here from such small places or small towns?

*raises hand* I'm from a small town. I grew up in a town where the main attraction was Walmart and that's where people go to find something to do. Either that or bonfires in the middle of an empty field in the winter time.

The town my university is in is a small town, actually. When you pull into the town and drive around and see all the fields and trees and such, it makes no sense that there'd be a 18,000 student campus in the middle of it.

Actually the "town" I live in is so small it doesn't even have a post office, so we have to channel our mail through the nieghboring, slightly larger town. It's peaceful here though, and a great neighborhood. Kind of a scattered country sort of town. ^^ I like it.

I grew up in a pretty small town, though not one of those that never appears on maps and doesn't have anything but five houses. Now that I'm in college, I'm in an even smaller town, though it doesn't feel the same because of how many people I'm living in close proximity to.

I grew up in a small town type area...main source of entertainment = nature, offroading and 4 screen movie theater. Nearest Wal-Mart is over 30 minutes away. We're actually remote enough that a rod washed out last year and it took 8 months to reopen, and have been snowed in.

Though living in califoria may have distorted my view of "small".

[shooraijin]

It's certainly distorted mine. Metro areas under 50,000 seem small to me after growing up in San Diego and now living within 60 miles of Los Angeles

My "town" has one grocery store, one post office, and one school. I have to travel to reach the high school. I'm glad I'm not the only one who lives in such a small place! ^^

I now reside in a small town. We do have a small grocery store. No traffic lights except for the one blinking yellow one in the middle of town. We do have the local schools. When I do hospital visitation I have to drive about 30 minutes to the nearest large town. We also have to do that to go to the movies, do our larger grocery shopping, get haircuts, hardware store etc. But I wouldn't give up small town life for anything.

well, my previous residence, Portland ME would certaily be small to peolple like Shoorajin. It is however the bigest city in Maine so it definatly doesnt qualify as a small town. My current residence is a small town in the poorest county of michigan. Its not as bad as I was expecting it would be. Hooray for super wallmarts.

My town tried to be a city, it actually was a city for about a year or so, but it couldn't handle it and had to revert back to a town. Something about a higher tax bracket or something? I dunno.

At any rate, we had only one high school for the entire county. Some kids had an hour and a half bus ride to school because of that.

I grew up in a small town called Purcell about 18 miles south of where I am now. We had a Walmart, two grocery stores, and some fast food places but that was about it. If you really wanted to buy anything like clothes, books, movies, etc, you had to drive up to the town that I'm in now. My old town drastically improved in the late 80's-early 90's, then stagnated and is kinda starting to get worse. Lots of stuff is a ripoff down there-- internet, gas, groceries.

I went to school in an even smaller town about a mile away, across the river. They're so small they go to Purcell for everything.

Norman is still probably considered "small" to some, but at least we have a mall and a bazillion other stores. And a huge university.

Where we live right now is an "unicorporated" town that has more livestock living in it than people. The next town over is another small town, with one gas station, a small grocery store, and two resturants. The next town the other way is where we go to church, it's a little bigger, with two gas stations and a large farm equipment dealer.

[beau99]

I'm from a town of roughly 35,000 but I've lived in Phoenix since 1995.

[Sammy Boy]

I am not sure how many people live in the suburb I am in ... but essentially we have one post office, a newsagent, a supermarket, two ATMs (no banks), a couple of grocery shops, a primary school .. and a train station where the trains never seem to stop for.

The closest police station is the next suburb away. But it's not very peaceful here. I'd like to go to some place more peaceful.
