    My small (county seat) town installed its first traffic light. For three weeks the local weekly paper ran articles on how to use it. They also reported on the frequent accidents happening at the only traffic light in the county. One week the paper proudly displayed a photo of the tracks in the grass where a car rolled out of the grocery store parking lot. The weekly local paper is a county paper.
    Our little town is now much larger and sports numerous traffic lights, gas stations and competing farm supply stores. But one tractor dealership pulled up stakes and moved to another small town three miles away leaving us locals only three tractor brands.

    I was born in a city, but when I was nine my family moved to a small town. In my twenties, I moved back to the city. I can say that this is spot on, though the "small town" I grew up in was a little bigger than this. We had a Walmart, a Kroger, and a few restaurant chains. It was still a pretty rural town, though. One thing I never fully realized while I lived there was how much everyone "knows everyone." I know it's common to say "everyone knows everyone" when talking about small towns. But after I moved away and reconnected with old friends who still lived in the small town of my youth, I realized that's true on more levels than one. For instance, if you go to a small town, many of the people have lived there their whole lives. Likewise, many of their parents lived in that small town their whole lives, too. Their grandparents probably did, too. Going back several generations, their whole families have been in that town. Consequently, not only do they know most people in town, they're also distantly related to many people in town.

    Yup! This is (one of) my hometowns, and I'm from New Hampshire. We don't have Fleet Farm, so that would be our Runnings, Tractor Supply or Harbor Freight. One street, the few bars you do not want to go to, and the school. I drove through my first cornfield there ❤️
