You know you're from a Small Rural Town if...

- You can name everyone you graduated with.
- You know what 4-H is.
- You ever went to parties at a pasture, barn, or in the middle of a dirt road.
- You used to drag "main."
- You said the 'F' word and your parents knew within the hour.
- You ever went cow-tipping or snipe hunting.
- You were ever in the Homecoming parade.
- You have ever gone home for Homecoming.
- It was cool to date someone from the neighbouring town.
- You had senior skip day.
- The whole school went to the same party after graduation.
- You don't give directions by street names or directions by references (turn by Nelson's house, go two blocks east Anderson's, and it's four houses left of the track field).
- The cc golf course had only 9 holes.
- You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend.
- You think kids that ride skateboards are weird.
- The town next to you is considered "trashy" or "snooty", but is actually just like your town.
- Getting paid minimum wage is considered a raise
- You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1960 as the "rich people."
- Anyone you want can be found at either the Dairy Queen or the feed store.
- Football coaches suggest that you haul hay for the summer to get stronger.
- Directions are given using "the" gas station as a reference.
- The city council meets at the coffee shop.
- Weekend excitement involves a trip to a Wal-Mart.
- Even the ugly people enter beauty pageants.
- You decide to walk somewhere for exercise and 5 people pull over and ask if you need a ride.
- Your teachers remember when they taught your parents.
- You can charge at all the local stores.
- The closest McDonald's is 45 miles away.
- So is the closest mall.
- It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower.



I think I fit about 10 of those lol
My wife fits damn near all (including the mcdonalds and mall ones! LOL)

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Everything but McDonald's (4 miles), the mall (7 miles), and we have an 18 hole golf course!

The only real changes since I graduated is we now have 3 gas stations and a Burger King in town. (and more houses)

The scary part is...I moved away when I graduated, and just two months ago, I bought a house in my hometown.

Just can't seem to get this place out of my system...

I can relate to about 16 of them.

Would this be bad?
-the town is nothing more than a 6 mile loop off a little traveled road

Uh, this bad, real bad. I may be doing myself an injustice by posting this, but I match all but ONE.

We have an 18 hole golf course.

All fit except the McDonald's, we do have one of those pretty close by. We used to have a mall but someone bought it and turned it into an office building.

Actually, I don't know anyone who gets minimum wage......even working at a gas station (1 of 3 btw). Most get $7-8. Also a lot of expensive restaurants so if you bus tables (like me) you get at least double that

Well, my town is not small, it's a suburb of Philly - but I worked a couple of summers on my Uncle's farm in Western PA while I was a teenager -

I remember one of the big events of the local fair was the hay-bale throwing contest.


Now days - I have family in Tioga county, PA - and the trip to Walmart (90min. drive) is big excitement -


Here's to small town living!
