I live in a small town, and I love it. Rent is cheap, I can bicycle to the grocery store, and it's just 30 minutes from a major city where all the cool stuff happens! The only downside is nobody wants to commute to my place for house parties 😅
Additionally, if your small town has a small town theater, that's where all the liberals are lol Just go volunteer for a play and you'll make friends

We did, but they didn't make enough to stay in business. One of the local churches bought it instead of paying to renovate their place of worship. I haven't been over there, but I assume their youth movie nights are top-notch.
Can confirm. My local group assumes you are queer and neurospicy until you state otherwise.
Same. We absolutely love living in a small town.
