Something about a small town appeals to the senses. May- be it ' s the absence of traffic and car horns beeping at 5 p.m., neon lights glaring through your windows at night, or the smell coming from dingy smokestacks. Instead, a small town offers a healthy and peaceful place to live. Sunlight pours through sparkling windows, unhindered by city smoke and haze. The air is scented with smells of flowers blooming and smoke billowing out of chimneys. People smile and nod as you pass, bikers race up and down the sidewalks, and joggers chat with you, exchanging the latest gossip and news from around town. As you move along, the faces of many small town friends and aquaintances bring back misty memories of the past. Maybe all small towns aren ' t like this, but they all have one thing in common that you can ' t find in a big city: a feeling of belonging, of having found your place in life and fitting right into it. - -
