no fun in small town when everyone knows each other.

fart up north and someone at the south end will tell you how good it was...

I appreciate their slower pace, and local flair.
They're where I drive to relax and get away.

probably? when I lived in houston, I'd drive 8 hours north to my sister's house in the middle of nowhere for the weekend. but that was more I just knew nobody and I didn't/don't meet new people much. or well.

Absolutely not. I was born and raised in a small town in Tennessee that had a city population of about 1700 about 3500 county wide when I was in HS. That kind of environment will definitely stunt your intellectual growth. Or at least it would at that time and place.

I’m into small town stuff tbh, I lived in some big cities, but always was drawn back to where I’m from.

Some of it I guess. I like little festivals and stuff but I also really love concerts and hole-in-the-wall restaurants., things you don't get in the small town setting.

I come fro ma small town in Texas. I too have to drive 2-4 hours for any kind of actual fun weather it be dancing, golf simulator, sporting events etc

I'm the person who typically doesn't consider random public events fun. I'm only motivated by very specific stuff like a gig of a favorite band or some interesting art exhibition and the closer to me it takes place, the more likely I would attend.

I’ve never lived in a small town so I can’t compare

I appreciate both, but don't really do much socializing anymore

I live in a small town, it's great! Everything is staggering distance

I like them but we travel everywhere to enjoy other towns and cities

I always about small towns. Peace. Quiet and No BS unlike some big wild jungles.

I would have anger issues every day in a big city

I prefer to stay home and have fun.

My wife and I are just like you. We have driven five and a half hours one way just to try a new pizza place for lunch. Sadly it wasn't worth the drive. ☹

You don't drive five hours to "have some fun" in the UK unless it's something special. Doesn't matter where you're from.

there's plenty to do here, whenever you want 🤷‍♂
i don't have to go too far

The older I'm getting the more I fancy those 2-5k people towns in the mountains

We have everything we need here in St Ives

All of my fun can be had by not even going outside ....:)

The small town mindset is too small for me

So what do you mean by fun? And why do you have to leave town to have it?

Is this an open invitation?

no mid sized city hopes and smol town fears😩

Grew up in a small town and got out of there as soon as I could, they nice for a visit but fuck living there

Inbred stuff?

they will soon unplug the stoplight and roll up the streets here

No
