What are some things that you can’t do in a small town that you wish you could? - eviltoast

The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you could do in a small town that you just can’t?

I was in the mountains, Hendersonville NC I think, trying to find a place to eat after 7 pm on a week day. Was impossible.

    When people think of sprawl, yes, they think of urban sprawl. But semi-rural towns can sprawl quite a lot, I assure you. Go drive through Oregon and you will see.

      Been a while, but Los Angeles is orders of magnitude different.

      Imagine if the area between Salem, Eugene, and the coast was all strip mall, subdivisions, gated communities, golf cousres, malls, city parks, freeways, etc.

      That is urban sprawl.

      And the San Diego version is only 40 miles away.
