The town I live in is around 7,000 people. It was a rural farming community until the farmers started selling their land to developers and they built houses and then the yuppies invaded. We bought our house there in 1996 and all this happened since then.
People tend to leave me alone because they don’t know what to make of me. I drive very nice cars and wear ripped up jeans and concert t-shirts. I like being left alone.
The town itself is run by jackasses. I can’t go into detail because it will be going to court.
Same has happened to me, the closer in towns got built up, people love it out here, big houses, mini-estates, horses. So, it’s started happening here, too. “Gentlemen’s farms,” lol. Six acres with a pond, a Morton building, estate fencing and a nice house with three car garage kind of thing.
My little town has a rough history, people came here for liquor during the Depression, dance halls, rowdy. Many of the old-time locals still are, at which the novveau folks tend to be horrified.
I can’t think of a single town other than this one, with a liquor still on the town seal.
