I grew up in a small town in Nebraska. From what I understand its not to small anymore. It had the basics, a movie theater, a bowling alley, a McDonald's and stuff like that. In the summer we had the swimming pool to hang out at. In the winter it was sledding and ice skating on the pond in the city park. We lived on the end of a street and when they scrapped the streets they piled the snow at the end of the street right by our house so we could sled down it. We had a big corn field behind our house and we'd play in it much to the annoyance of the farmer. We had a row of trees behind our house and we'd climb them and play in them. When I was in 6th Grade we moved across town and behind our house was a big field that we'd play tag, and stuff like that. In the summer the county fair was there and we didn't have to worry about figuring out where to park we just had to walk there. They also did the big fireworks show there and we just had to go out our back porch to watch them. We had a big party for all our friends and made homemade icecream and cake, big glasses of cold lemonade. I miss my hometown sometimes because where I live now is just one big town. Its a bunch of towns crammed together into one. You don't really know where one ends and one begins it just kind of melds together.
