My Small Rural Town
My small rural town has one blinking light; one doctor; one dentist; one grocery store; one drug store; one laundry mat; one bank; one hardware store; one car(Chevrolet) dealer; one attorney; one accountant; one consignment shop; one movie rental store combined with a plant/nursery shop; one elementary school; one middle school; one high school and one public library. It has seven(7) plus places to eat. This alone tells the focus of rural living … just kidding! There are four(4) plus places of worship … which “… is a good thing …” as Ms. Martha would say. I think there are two(2) gas stations. Our police force is also small, but does an excellent job. This is not saying we do not have “crime”, we do because we are still human beings. Having fewer choices keeps life simple which is the reason most people “living rural” choose to do so. Remember, “Y’all come back, ya’ hear!”

I know exactly what you mean.
Our town had to close the aquarium. The goldfish died.
Kiddin’ aside, I grew up in a small town. I can remember what it was like before we got a blinking traffic light.
