About Small Towns....
Mar. 25th, 2009 04:44 pmSome of you have probably received a list of "small town isms" from a friend. There are a few posted here and there on the Internet. The funny thing is, I didn't grow up in a small town, though many friends did. The list took me somewhere else.
For those who have missed it, here’s a combination of two lists:
( Small Towns )
Where I've found I've gone in my mind is to the summer small town -- the place that seems more Real to me than any other home, despite the current battles to keep high rise condos out of the village limits. It's the place I will probably be buried.
I’ll bet you have a few stories -- You must have gone snipe hunting or cow tipping. Or laid on your back at the county fair right under the fireworks, ooo-ing and ah-ing in unison, layered like dominoes with your heads on each others' stomachs. Did you get cheated at a carnival, which was a useful life lesson? Did you have Senior Skip Day? Have you ever returned for Homecoming?
I'm writing up my memories for a Book View Cafe blog post -- I'll tell you when it goes up. In the meantime, no matter how large a town you grew up in -- what small town memory, be it current or historic, comes to your mind?
