Everyone around here walks around and we say hi to one another. It’s sort of like an obligation to smile at everyone I see, but not because I have to, but because I want to. I remember going to a bigger city for the first time and it was sort of confusing. Whenever I would say hi or smile at someone, they wouldn’t respond or react. It didn’t phase me too much though, it must be harder to live in a bigger and much more dangerous place. I’m happy to be from a friendly, small town.

I live 15 miles from my parents. I live less than 5 miles from my in-laws. We’ll pull together if things get bad. Our community will pull together if things get bad. We look out for our neighbors. Truth is, we’d look out for visitors and strangers if things get bad. It’s a generalization to assume all small town residents are hicks and it’s a generalization to assume all city-dwellers are rude. At the end of the day, I have hope for our society. Yes, there are a lot of sheeple out there, but they are still good people who will stand up if things get bad enough. Yes, there are a lot of bad people out there, but it seems like there are more because you hear more about the criminals than you do about all the good average Joe’s out there working ad just trying to take care of their families.

Your commentary was a breath of fresh air. Small town living is good and here in the southern appalachian mountains its even better. We wave to each other and stop to talk. We share food out of the garden and swap honey for molasses. We check in on elderly neighbors and don’t expect to be paid for every little favor we do for someone. When you city folks get here there’s one word of advice…don’t try to change us to make our community like what you left behind. Embrace the slow and friendly pace. You’ll like it.

Also, you had better pick a small town that isn’t dominated by a religion or political party you don’t agree with. You’ll be an outcast.
There is not that much work, either, and many kids graduate and leave for bigger cities.

Or somewhere in the Great flooded American midwest? Or near a mountain-top mine? or a coal mine? LOL Small towns sound AWESOME! Maybe some where nice and cozy in Alaska…aahhhh yes.

There are no harbors or ships. (Middle of the desert, remember?!) One major international airport. A couple of interstate highways carrying lots of Wal-Mart and Home Depot tractor trailers, some railroads to bring in everything else, a couple gas pipelines, and one major nuclear power plant that’s downwind from the city. Now THAT was a great idea, huh? You can never have enough uranium and cesium… ewwww.

If some terrorist type person decides to blow up the railways and gas pipelines, clog the highways with fleeing people, and disrupt the power grid – we’re screwed.
