I have recently moved from a town of 50,000+ to one of UNDER 100. Yes, under 100 residents. The post offie boxes in the 80's(all boxes are free, we have no mail delivery). We homeschool 3 children, 10yob, 6yog, 5yog. We have found it to be VERY quiet. Other than that, we have truly enjoyed our peace. We are able to walk everywhere, do not fear who our children are running into, and weknow that our house will not be mistaken for ______ (fill in the space- drugs, thieves, drive by target, etc) It is great to leave the windows open all night, the door unlocked when we are in the back yard, or being able to trust the neighbor to not steal whatever is on our porch. The downside to this is that the nearest gas/party store is over 6 miles. The nearest grocery store is 33. We don't go to the store that often, well not anymore:) You are the outsider. Here, everyone is great. Friendly, will wave and talk to us, but they are still leary. Absolutely NO fast food here...We have a restuarant that just opened, other than that, nothing, LOL. I never want to move back to the big city, even when I am bored.. LOL Oh, btw... I come from Philadelphia (2,000,000) then lived in Naples, Fl(25,000); Port Huron, MI(50,000); Roscommon, MI(840); and now Elk Falls, KS!(80+5)
