So You Want to Live in a Small Town

SO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN By Allan and Rosemary Young Allan and Rosemary Young grew up in the country just outside small towns. Then, after living in larger towns and cities, they were seeking that elusive dream of the real America as sung about by country/western singers, and written about by poets. What they found, of course, were all the problems of the cities just rearranged, as well as lots of unexpected joys-but very little of what they remembered from their younger days, when things happened which they did not know about, or were just too young to remember. They weren't exactly seeking their roots, since they didn't want to return to either of the towns from which they came, so they deliberately selected one in between-then another, and another. They actually lived in three small towns over the next few years, each offering distinct advantages-and distinct disadvantages as well.
