As a non-American, I’m very confused by this. If it’s a town, it’s not rural by definition. Because, you-know, it’s urban.
Also, could we get a definition of town vs small town. Do you not have the concept of a village? (Village in the UK would be a settlement with a population of a couple of thousand, with usually a pub, local shop, maybe a post office and primary school if you’re lucky).
Lol. Last Christmas my wife saw a ad for something dollar tree had on sale, the irony in That comment, like super cheat wrapping paper. I forget
I’ve never stepped foot in one. I went in with her, browsed it’s 4 aisles and it’s super discounted frozen aisles that I wouldn’t even feed my dog. And said we are going and never bring me to one of these stores again.
Like the empathy I felt for the poor souls that had to work let alone shop there because it’s the only thing they can find and or afford . I think I’d prefer being homeless.
