I actually had to do that once when I was little. Worst experience ever.

Was it Christmas time and your present a Red Rider beebee gun?

Some are good, some are bad.

Mine, 40,000, is not so bad, decent, misses nothing very important technically, but misses of energy/animation/perspectives, but I don't think it's the case for all, at least here in France, depends on culture and/or wealth and/or geographical situation (proximity of a big city, mountain/seaside/countryside/urban area, etc...).

Grew up in Nevada City, now reside in Manhattan, should be obvious how I feel about them

40,000 people is a small town?

On Saturday I was in a town of 3,500 people. I like little places like that. They all have their unique characteristics and people.

Oh yah, or maybe in English town would be enough? We haven't several words in French like 'town' and 'city', we have only 'ville', and 'village' which is for something under 3,000 in the mind of people I'd say. Then for me, mine is a small ville, I would consider a medium ville an about 70,000 metropolis to 150,000, and over I'd call it big ville. The difference between town and city might mix me up.

When you're sixteen, I guess they probably do. There are obvious disadvantages to living in a small town; jobs and services (of one kind or another) being the main ones and they're more of a problem when you're young. But there are certain advantages as well. Different places suit different people.

I grew up in a town of 3,000 people Sad

It has declined in population since the 1900's when it had around 3,200

I agree in 100%

I lived in a small town in eastern Poland for six years and that sucked. I missed Warsaw greatly and had to take a long rides to high school in other town every f**king morning.

I love this town for a summer, but full time? Hell no!

So can I. I first lived in a town with a population of around 200, but that actually included only the town proper and not a nearby area where most people lived. However even with that it couldn't be over a thousand, even the county only had 4000 people.

It depends on the small town. Is it a small town with "small town" people, or a small town filled with "cosmopolitans?"  I mean Sun Valley, Idaho is not Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and Ashland, Oregon is not Decatur, Illinois, and Middlebury, Vermont or Hanover, New Hampshire, is not San Angelo, Texas.

Yeah, I've lived most of my life in Chapel Hill, NC, which is certainly a small town filled with "cosmopolitans". I would certainly not want to live in a stereotypical small town. Were I to start from stratch, I'd live in a larger city, though I'd still take a cosmopolitan small town over an exurb.

Chapel Hill isn't a small town.

They're nice to visit, but I like being around a lot of people.  I like living in Metro Detroit - it's a good amount of people without being too busy.  I also like getting away to Mt. Pleasant (about 45,000 people during the school year) for school, but it's in the middle of nowhere, and I couldn't stay there forever.
