Wow! Thats great

Answer 4

This is wonderful.

Thanks for the inspiration!

(In my eyes you are speaking of Neshkoro, WI. Only one gas station, but 2 churches and 3 taverns!)

Answer 5

I raised my girls in towns quite like this.  Many wondered why I never wanted a city church.  I came from Chicago, it's a good place to be from, far from.

Answer 6

Makes me proud to be an American and a Republican.

Answer 7

I'm ready to move from this rat race.  Great, inviting poem of kinder, gentler times.

Answer 8

The poem is stilted and reads like a 1 horse town's main road.

Your town sounds boring as h**l, too. I'm glad to be a city boy.

Answer 9

A lovely description of your village. My little hamlet does not even have a movie theater, but we have four gas stations!! We are near a well-known beach which attracts thousands of tourists every summer.

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

It sounds like a heavenly place.There is something to be said about living in a small community.I think you said it all. I envy you.

Answer 12

you're so lucky to be in a place like that. we used to have little towns just like that, within a half hours drive from our city. no more, too many people. i really hate what so many call progress.

Answer 13

I, too, grew up in a very small town.  Couldn't wait to leave at 18.

couldn't wait to raise my kids in another small town!

Answer 14

i live in the 21st centry answer mine?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 15

I use to be able to relate. Twenty years ago Marysville was just a small farm community. Two elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, a Dairy Queen, and four cops. Now we got a Starbucks and heroin. It's sad.
