Towns small on city limits,
but big on community pride
"One-horse town," "blink and you miss
it," and "hick town" are just a few of the
cliches attached to the rural village.
By city standards, there is a certain
amount of truth to these cliches. But what
they fail to define is a character of sub
stance that is partly responsible for the
existence of many a hamlet.
Cliches say nothing about the warmth
of the people and their involvement with
one another. They say nothing about the
pride and community spirit commonly
shared or the unfettered down-to-earth
lifestyle lacking in the city of sophistica
tion and hype.
Three cheers for the rural resident who
sees his place in the world under a differ
ent light. Blink, but they'll still be there.
