The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you could do in a small town that you just can’t?
I was in the mountains, Hendersonville NC I think, trying to find a place to eat after 7 pm on a week day. Was impossible.
Run errands around town without being identified, either as in or out group.
My mom once got a call in our small Kentucky town from a local gossip/busy-body. She asked what we were drinking–said she had seen us pulling out of the Sonic. It was shit like that ALL THE TIME. Our routine/game when going to Wal-Mart was to guess how many people we’d see that we knew (the answer was VERY RARELY IF EVER zero).
