Small Town America
Sure, city living has its benefits, but you and I both know there's nothing like small town living. Big cities have great restaurants on every corner, but they don't have the personal touch of a local watering hole whose workers and patrons not only know you, but knew your father, too. Big cities have Whole Foods and farmers markets, but small towns neighbor those farms. Maybe you go to church with the family that grew those goods. It's that personal touch that makes a small town so special.
