My town has a post office, laundromat, library, Chinese buffet, and a few other odds....and that is it. We have a population of a little less then 13,000. I've also been a city girl all my life and I can tell you that living in a small town may be a culture shock, but it's really cool once you get to know everybody. Small towns have tight communities and close kin. I love how I know everybody when I go to the library and laundromat. Even the ladies at the Chinese resturant know me and my kids. It's peaceful to me, and everybody here values their neighbors.
