Pretty much

In europe even in the smallest towns there is some form of social culture within reach normally. So yes, I think it's a great place.

What do you mean "social culture"?

That's funny coming from a twisted little boy pretending to be a rich jetsetter.
@pokethebear: a few pubs/bars, public pools, youth clubs, libraries, public transport to get to the next city, places to hang for the not-so-strait kids, holiday programs for low income families, stuff like that. Not everywhere, but widespread.

Our town population is a little under 5,800. Most of our property is farmland. We are mostly correction officers, farmers, construction workers, factory workers and office staff. We have two bars, one with a restaurant. Another restaurant. Two pizza joints. A gas station. A general store. Auto repair shop. Blacksmith. Volunteer fire company with a rec hall. A town park. A town veterans memorial pavilion. A public library. A town Christmas party every year. A town barn dance with a live band next week. An annual fireman's carnival and parade. We are one of three towns in the school district, there is a tri-town sports and rec organization. There is a tri-town boys and girls club. A power sports dealer. We are a little over 20 miles from two small cities, so no mass transit. A historical society. A baptist church. A tri-town senior center. A post office. We do not have a traffic signal though. I'm not sure what your preconceived ideas of small town life are all about.

To me that's a bigger town, but to people who live in the city, that must seem tiny ^_^

And?

@funsubstanceuser does that count as social culture?

Yes it does. So? [x] exceptions, exist - that's actually not really a mind-blowing fact. There's actually large areas in east germany where most small towns are like the list above is suggesting. Thus the "Not everywhere, but widespread."
