Big cities have their advantages......

But small town atmosphere is where it's at...

My hometown has an annual art fair in downtown where they actually shut down the Main Street through town. The old man & my brother both had some paintings on display and I think next year they will havea booth to sell paintings.

Amen!

I go to the grocer and the butcher will fry me up a catfish sandwich while we talk.

Two weeks ago the town showed one of the latest vampire movies in a park after dark. The bloodmobile was there for donors.

When we first arrived, we were meeting with a bank manager and asked if there was a dry cleaner in town where we could get some cloths pressed overnight. They apologized because it was on the other side of town...a mile away. The owner of the dry cleaner met us at the door because the bank had called and told them we were coming.

Heavy traffic is three cars arriving at a four way stop at the same time.

The folks at the Post Office are friendly and know your name.

You can point your car in any direct and be in peaceful country side in minutes.

If you need something in the big city (in our case Indianapolis), it's a short drive away; rush hour in Indianapolis is like 9PM in Seattle.
