Living in a small town.

We have one traffic light and walmart. We are bigtime here. Didn't get very far in life. IMA about 40 miles north from where I started in life.

Hey Cane Pole I've got you beat, I'ma only about 5 miles from where I grew up

I live in a little bigger then a one traffic light town but I haven't gone far. Great Grandparents lived on one side of the street, grandparents on the other. My parents live beside my grandparents and I'm maybe 2 miles if that away....

We have or had a farm with land until couple years ago when the state took it for a new highway. Now it goes right in the middle of our land and divides my parents and grandparents houses. Destroyed my great grandparents house, barn and other buildings.

I wouldnt say I grew up in a small town, but it was "far" from Houston back then. My parents moved there in 1973. I was born in 79. I always remember if someone was out mowing or other outside activities, the passer-by's would stop and chat. My parents new the companies names of where my close neighbors worked.

My parents finally kicked me out...it took selling the house...but i wasnt moving 50 miles north when I was working in houston which was 40 miles south. I bought a house 10 miles south. It took me a long time to realize no one was pulling in my driveway because the house was on a small lot in a neighborhood and close to the road. I looked forward to meeting neighbors and chatting about the world. I met the close neighbors and would chat, but others were old and grumpy, or never came outside. It was a dramatic change for me from hunting in the woods behind my house and riding my bike with a fishing pole through the neighborhood, to living in the "city". No woods, no ponds, unfriendly people, clicky areas of the neighborhood, demographical areas of the neighborhood.

Me and the wife have plans to move to Arkansas in the near future to get away from this city life. Its not me.

Great story that speaks about the America I knew growing up in small town of 150 people (all good people). Today in Suburbia, I don't know my neighbor. That's sad!

Nice post Doug. I grew up in a small town on a river. Still miss it but it dried up pretty bad. Moved to a city and could not wait to get out. Last place I lived in La. was literally surrounded by sugar cane. A two street community about 15 miles from a small town. I have since moved to a smallish town in Tn. The only thing I don't like is bad weather and Tornado sirens. Hurricanes were less scary.
