    I’m a city boy. But I remember driving into a small town in North Dakota and the only place open was a bar that serves frozen pizza. Me and my friends walked in a little loud and you could feel the eyes of the bar look on us. They knew we were outsiders.

      I'm from a tiny small town. There are several small towns in the mountain valley where I'm from, an area of about 120 square miles. The total population of that area is about 600. Anyways, despite myself growing up there natively, if I walked in the local bar I would stand out for sure.
      I remember going there one time back in 2009 and people didn't know who I was, despite having grown up and lived in the area for 24 years. That was kinda funny. But of course our family was never part of the local "in" club, and we didn't hang out with very many people. My mom was born there in 1953, and we have long family ties to the place. I don't live there anymore. But when I still did I mostly never went out to the bar. Bunch of dumbasses I don't care to see hang out there mostly.

Not religious. I hate it where I am. Have been trying to sell my house. They stop that from happening. I am so happy to hear from someone that say's the same thing about small towns that I believe. Hey, small towns are not for everybody. I don't mean to hurt their feelings. But they don't mind telling you what and how they believe. I'm originally from Los Angeles and they don't mind telling me , that's what's worng with me. I like different cultures and travel. They don't. Big difference, they wanted me to be like them.

    I live in a small town. The post master hated me until I wrote a letter to the USPS consumer advocacy center in DC. The neighbor lady hates me and has called the police on me 3 times. Im 60 years old and have never had anyone call the police on me until I moved to texas. She didnt like my little dogs barking at here, even though they are only out a few times a day for short periods since they are inside couch potato dogs. She called police because I unknowingly lit a fire on a "non burn day". Then, when I had enough of her staring at me from her back porch just looking for a reason to call the police again, I decided to put up a privacy fence. Guess what? She called the police on me because she said I was putting a fence on her property. went inside, got my land platt, showed it to police, showed them my survey stakes. Police apologized, went back and yelled at the lady for causing us so much grief. I put the fence up and have never had another problem. Most folks in small towns are nice but every town has a couple of anal orifices. And good tall fences can solve a lot of problems.

      My experience you move to someplace like Missouri and you find that most locals are not all that friendly and they are distrustful. You find your self being friendly with all the other transplants and I'm not even in a small town. Folks will tell you people in small towns here will never accept you even if you have been there for many years you will still be an outsider. Hanging with all the other outsiders is not all that bad. One problem with less populated areas is you cannot get lost in the crown which means you will more than likely be surveilled and watched by givernment.

    Brother Demcad you are so right about living in small towns. ( small rural towns especially)Yes people in small towns do talk a whole lot. You can't keep your business to yourself. People are very noisy. No privacy. Everybody knows everybody. The people in these small rural towns take going to church on Sundays very seriously . When there is a major sporting event such as Basket ball and Football the whole town goes to those events and most businesses close. One thing about living in a small rural towns is you don't have to look over your shoulders all the time. Crime occurs in small towns such as burglary,assaults petty crimes, rapes, shootings, and murders. The cost of living is different and wages are low. No competition when it comes to jobs. Rents are going up too or high in small towns. Its terrible you have to drive 20 or 30 miles to Walmart. And you have to drive 50 and 60 miles to a major hospital. Living in the Delta sometimes is not always cracked up to be. I'll say this much. Those small towns are quiet in the daytime as well the in night time. Some people living in rural towns in the USA still leave their house doors unlocked.

Also in those gossipings, by the time it gets around to other people it's totally untrue or embellished.

    Small towns in the Midwest are really suffering. 50 years ago the farmers kept the small town prosperous and supplied with school children. There were 2 or 3 farmers per section of land and they all had 3 or more children. Today, there is one farmer per 2 or 3 sections and they have 3 or less children. There were 32 seniors in my class in 1969, today there are 4 and they have had to consolidate the school with two other small towns. The small town I grew up in is too far away from towns that have job opportunities to be a decent bedroom community, so the writing is on the wall that it will probably be basically a ghost town in another decade or so. Also, the average age of a resident is over 65 now.

I only travel early in the morning now. Anytime after 11 am and it's bumper to bumper traffic. Remember Texas is 12 hundred miles across. Many small towns are islocated served by sometimes only a local conventent /gas station. If you want to go to a Walmarts you have to drive a ways. Some large ranches are larger than entire counties. Some ranches measure their land not in acres, but in square miles. Kings Ranch is a 100 miles across. Close to 700 ,000 acres of land.

    Have lived in my small Nebraska town of about 250 for three years now. Everything you said was spot on. I was viewed as an outsider from day one. Why? Because a representative of each of the FOUR churches in town came to ask if i would like to attend their church. I said NO to each. I live by myself with my dog. Everything we do is on the agenda. When my house was for sale a while back, the lady in the town store knew about my buyers before I did! The rural myth of polite, hard-working Americans evaporated before i had been here six months. Angry, gossiping farmers who all know everything better than you. And don't you DARE suggest a new or different way to do anything! There is a plague of alcoholism and meth just under the surface. The Sinaloa cartel put the local meth dealers out of business a few years back, so that keeps some of the crime in check. The cops are generally lazy, have little except domestic violence and speed traps to keep busy, and play favorites. Only three people have been in my house since I moved her, and that is too many. I love my home, I love the open spaces out here, but I can't stand these gossips - worse than 16yo girls on the cheer leading squad.

      I also moved to a small town in BC from the lower mainland. Yes, keeping to yourself and letting people know you’re from a big city (or worse another province) will cause them to act as though you don’t exist. People who were very friendly when they first met me give me the cold shoulder after I told them where I’m from. Simple as that. People I never met tell me they know me who I am what I do, my interactions, it’s disturbing. The gossip is horrid. The way they speak about each other behind their backs. I’ve never met such damaged people like this before. It’s frightening to know that most small towns are like this. I’m already planning my escape. I never expected people here to be so petty. The owner at a restaurant I worked at would tell me who they didn’t like and how to serve them (not bring them appetizers, to ignore them) I was so disgusted at how unprofessional people in small towns are. I didn’t go to a cafe or a restaurant for a while and when I returned they asked if I was mad at them. 😳 moving to small town BC has really lose more respect for humanity.

    #1 on my list was going to church. Don't go to the early service though. Only the people who want to get stuff done on a sunday go to the early service.
    When our mom and pop grocery store closed we had to drive a half hour for groceries until a small chain store opened up at the edge of town.
    Our county had no stop lights when I was growing up. They are up to two now after thirty years.
    Having kids are a big advantage in a small town too. It forces you to meet people just because kids do stuff.
    Also I suggest living at the edge of town or outside of it you'll have more privacy that way.
    Another big thing is to join up the local sportsman or snowmobile club. You won't have to act as fake as you do in church.
    Imagine DemCad out on a snowmobile trapping muskrats or going fishing out at the local dam.

    In the small town I grew up in we didn't want outsiders ( especially from the big city) moving into our great little community. Times have changed. Walmart and other franchise have ruined the quality of small town living. People in small towns have become much more poor in every way. The small town I grew up in we were like a tribe that was much more self sustainable than the small towns today. The farther back in time you go and it was much more moral and respectable and honest. People did business on a handshake. So different now.

      @10aDowningStreet 4 роки тому +2

      I know it can seem like that, but we view the past through nostalgic, rose tinted spectacles, it's an inherent human bias (called _'rosy retrospection')_
      The communities our ancestors lived in could be brutal in different ways, you only have to look back at the middle ages or to world war 2 (or to present day Myanmar) to find terrible examples of human depravity, contrast that with somewhere super civilized like modern day Japan, that's why I don't think things are degenerating, rather than they are just following age-old patterns/cycles of change.
      The collective morality of a society is influenced by culture and environment, and so it will naturally ebb and flow too, it always has, human beings however are essentially the same as we were 200,000 years ago. In the decades post WWII, societies were more conscious of rotten ideologies and toxic, immoral behaviors that could lead to maniacs like Adolf gaining traction - society rejected bad behavior... as time passes we become somewhat complacent, take the 80s, when the economy is booming and the media has a fetish for the wealthy, then people societies morality shifts when statements like 'greed is good' are celebrated. Recently we see fetishization of 'celebrity', being rich without doing the work, gangster culture in music, politicians lying... all normal/celebrated, so thew general populations morality is changed as a reflection.
      _Side note: I have always longed to move to somewhere rural, I'd love to actually be a part of a community, rather than an anonymous drone. The noise, pollution, the anger and stress of the city is not a natural environment for us._
