Those who grew up in small towns will laugh when they read this.

Atleast you had a stop light. Where i grew up we didnt even have a stop sign. Only 65 people there. So tiny you couldnt even call it a one horse town, there was no horse living here. We got a side walk in the mid eighties. WE had TV channels on a good day and two on a bad one.

502 people in my town(we increased it by 4 from 498), no cop, a blinking red light, and a combo Senior center/Daycare and Youth center all in the same building. It's 3 sq miles big...Our house in called "Ms. Smith's old house"

We had people stopping by and watching us build our picket fence because it was the most interesting thing that had happened around here for awhile!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!

Sent to DH at school. His school covers three towns and has less than 400 students in grades 7-12! It's all true!!

or when you look in the high school parking lot and the whole back row is tractors

and those were the COOL people

I grew up in Sharpsburg, MD. no lights, one stop sign, 4 churches, 3 bars and a general store... where everyone hung out in the evenings. Our house was over 200 years old and even though we lived their since 1985, the house is still known as the Athertan House (previous owners)

Some favorite memories were meeting up at the creek swing on the hot summer days and riding my horse to the store when it snowed so much, only the trucks were out (before stupid people started driving in that stuff with their hondas) and riding the back roads with my best girl, some hot boys and a 6 pack (that we would all share) and think we were really bad

Hahaha our next cop was 6 miles away and we knew every back road.

6) You scheduled parties around the schedules of different police officers, because you knew which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't.

its still common knowledge theres no police from 3-4am

Its also strange to other people when the cop pulls you over, calls you by your first name and asks how your grandmother is doing or if you dad may be home.

When I graduated there were 74 people in my class. I didnt bother going to a class reunion because most of the people I still saw around. Our school also covers 3 towns and is in the middle of a corn field.


Ive always told my son if hes doing something wrong I will know. You never know who may see you who knows me, or gram or dad or my friend.....etc.
