No you don't!
I live in a small town. The population was 3,839 at the 2000 census. It’s small town living in the middle of Kansas City. I feel like it’s the best kept secret around. There are no street lights in town and only a few stop signs on our main drag. So, actually, yes, I do! ;0) It takes awhile getting used to everyone knowing who you are and where you live, etc.
