Are you from the big city or a small town?

I grew up in a mid-sized American city that became overrun by Big Tech. Now downtown is filled with nerds walking and texting on the sidewalk who never see the uppercut coming.3

I am so glad I spent my childhood in a small town, hope to go back there someday

I grew up on a tobacco farm in rural NC. The closest town had a population of less than a 1000 and no stoplights. The town basically consisted of a post office, a small bank, a hardware store, a service station, a library, and a furniture factory. Today, the town still doesn't have a stoplight, and the furniture factory, bank, and hardware store closed years ago. Over the years, the town has gained a small textile manufacturer, a family run restaurant, a retail store, and a used car lot. Oh, yeah, I forgot about the volunteer fire department and one man police force! It's not Mayberry, but it's a close second!LOL!

More of a medium city, only a million people. My grad class had 800 though, and yes we watched them all cross the stage. Your hands hurt from clapping after about 489.0

I have lived in a lot of places since my childhood.
My childhood home is outside of KC, MO... a small farming community that had maybe 2,500 people by the time I left. My family did not, however, live in town. We lived outside the city limits on five acres of land. My dad still lives there, although the town has grown and is constantly trying to annex his property without giving him any of the benefits they give the townsfolk.
The place I live currently? Not so much. It's a city... of about 400k +/- a few hundred.2 -

I don't mention this too often online, as many people tend to reach blindly for some sense of personal offence, but yes…. I grew up in a little community called Swastika (Swas-TEE-ka), populated by maybe 1500. There was very little there when I was a kid. I grew up splitting firewood for heat, fetching water from the spring down the road, and emptying the inhouse porta-potty-type-thing every day as there wasn't indoor plumbing until my teens.
The nearest town, Kirkland Lake, was where we went to school and worked. It was a 10 minute drive, or a 1.5hr walk (which I did almost daily). Even at its peak mining days, it couldn't breach the 10,000 person mark.
…….and now you know, lol.

Came from a small city 250K then although I think it's a lot bigger now, moved to a smaller city about half the size and have spent most of my life here.

I've been there. A buddy of mine has a cabin thereabouts. It has an interesting little history. I read that during the war the Ontario government came and changed the town signs to Churchill one night and the townsfolk went out the night after and changed them right back to Swastika. Some weird little momentos from the period too:
I suppose there are stranger named Canadian towns though...

Sea side villages in Maine are THE best!!
My parents bought a little travel trailer back when we were a family of 6 and spent many summers camping/traveling up and down the coast. Beautiful area

Medium-sized town (was 30,000 when I was a kid now it’s about 84,000).
Now I live in a small town adjacent to that town but it’s growing rapidly.0 -

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's probably where they'll bury me1 -
