There are benefits to small towns. There are also drawbacks. I like an medium sized town.

I live in a town of 10K people. I live in far west portion of Kentucky where the Ohio meets the Mississippi, Tennessee and Cumberland rivers.

20 minutes from TN, 30 from Illinois, 45 from Missouri. Two hour drive to Nashville. Three hours to Memphis and St. Louis. Prime location. Second most conservative district in Kentucky.

Me too. I have no desire to live in a big city anymore. I also don't want to drive 30 miles to go to a decent restaurant.

Not a small town


While very nice, traffic is horrible and it, and Brentwood, are simply nice extentions of Nashville.

I moved to Brentwood in '81 and Franklin was small town. 39 years later, it is not even close to being small town.

I am sure they would say the same about small towns and small town ideas.

As unfortunate as it is, those Normal Rockwell postcards don’t exist any longer.



These days small town America is much less Norman Rockwell and much more George Lincoln Rockwell


Of course, it never really was Norman Rockwell to begin with, despite what the boomers want to tell themselves

You were living in the wrong small town if you didn't have any decent restaurants.

it has about 80,000 too many people to be a small town

I've never really lived in one other than a somewhat rural suburb in the 80s.

How small are we talking here?

Live just outside a small town of 5K people. Love it and been here over 40 years after growing up in New Orleans.

I wouldn’t minds small town or even country, but if I move I don’t want to be around trash
