This place is in the middle of nowhere. It is so small that there isn't even a Mcdonald's here! I thought every town had one of those!! And there is no Starbucks, Walmart, movie theater, or even a bowling alley. The town pretty much consists of the dealership I am at and a gas station with an old diner in it. I think there may be a grocery store somewhere but I'm not positive.
I have lived in the country most of my life, but I couldn't imagine living somewhere like this. Don't get me wrong, it is a pretty area. I would go crazy though. There is absolutley nothing to do. I bet the families around here make lots of babies! That's the only entertainment they have!!
Would you like living in such a remote area? Could you be happy without all of the conveniences we are accustomed to?

Great question, Brandy. Sometimes I wonder if life would be better that way. We'd have to come up with ways to entertain ourselves. But I don't think it's for me. I need to be somewhere right in the middle. Not too much, but just enough!
Make sure to take some pictures and share them with us!

Brandy,
No way! LoL I think I could stand it for a vacation but not on a permanent basis. I could probably also do it longer if those conveniences were within driving distance.
I'm wondering if the 'town' you're in is in the process of dying out. A lot of smaller towns across the country are doing really poorly and are slowly dying out. I've heard a lot about it but have never seen it in person.
Hi Brandy
We don't have a Walmart or a Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'm not sure which one I would rather have. We could use a skating rink and putt putt golf here as well. Other than that, I don't mind small town life.
LOL!!! I DO live in a remote area like that! Our town's population is even smaller than where you are. But I have high speed Internet and satellite TV, thank goodness (or I'd go insane). We don't have a McDonald's but we do have a Subway, a Mexican restaurant, and the pool hall (which is now a restaurant but it used to be a pool hall, hence why everybody still calls it that), and two quick shops. And we're getting a Dollar General store at some point. *g*
I had to laugh at this post, Brandy! For some reason the theme song to the old show 'Green Acres' is running through my head right now.
I live in a pretty small town, but I used to live in an even smaller town about 15 miles away. Nineveh has one gas station, a feed store, a pizza eatery, a hardware store, and a hair salon. That's it. To get to the main highway, the residents have to drive around Camp Atterbury (military homeland security), often getting stuck behind slow-moving convoys. It was a beautifully scenic area, but VERY inconvenient.
Nope, I wouldn't wanna go back to that again.
