How small was your home town?

Sigh...

I honestly miss B.C. it's not in the papers here anymore.

It was So small,

The city limits signs were on the same signpost, back to back.

If you blinked while driving through town, you missed the whole town.

The Dancehall, Bar, community center, church, and gas station was a phone booth.

The hotel rooms were so small, the mice were hunchbacked. When you opened the door to the room, you had to be careful you didn't break the window on the opposite side of the room with the doorknob.

The City Council was one guy. He was also the Mayor, Police Department, Fire Department, Minister and Street Cleaner. All those jobs filled 10 minutes of his day.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal and tip your waitress. (ducks the flying tomatoes and other veggies)

P.S. I know, I KNOW! Don't give up my day job.

actually. ..

It was so small it had a population sign without a population listed... so about fifty people.
I know of a town nearby which had a population of 100 and that was listed so ....

Although the town I went to school in was about 15-20 minutes away by car/(30 minutes by schoolbus) and had a population of 1500. Metropolitan centre, indeed!

small towns?

What can one say in this?? We all know the first liar hasn't got a chance

My town was so small

that it was between the golden arches....
that the local electric company was a used Die-Hard Battery.
And who cares about being the first liar? I for one believe everything that has been said so far............

Don't let someone else talk you out of your dreams. How can we have dreams come true, if we have no dreams?

850 people. Some nearby towns were fewer than 50. And I heard all the "my town was so small..." jokes / groaners. Thing is, I LIVED it. Was kind of nice - but I'm a small-town kinda guy...

My home town doesn't exist

My home town doesn't exist any more! West Hartlepool disappeared when I was 10. It wasn't much, but it was mine.

It has one enduring claim to fame, though. Ridley Scott learned how to make films there.

Ban nothing. Question everything.

How small?

It's the only town in the USA shown ACTUAL SIZE on a road map.
When the mayor's wife had TWINS, the population DOUBLED.
If you walked outside to change your mind, you were in the NEXT COUNTY.
Our town square was a SINGLE PIECE of marble tile.
The school only had one student. He was also the teacher, janitor, security guard, principal, and cafeteria worker.

no joke

population 1400, we had a gas station/grocery store, and a two room building that one room was for the police, one for the post office. There was one flashing yellow light at the only intersection. Although I should say this was my parent's home town as my father was military and I only visited there a couple weeks each year until he retired and moved us back.

Oh and our house was about 5 miles out of town :)

We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
