Some people say they have been or love to be in a quite town. But what does that really mean, 'a quite town'? Less cars, less stores, less people, less things happening, less things to go to.
I don't think anyone can say they have been to or love a small town until they actually been to a town that only has less than 350 people have hardly anything in the town except one church, a gas station, two food stores, a bar, a liquor store, a one hotel that is also a restaurant that are only things open during the winter months from Oct - June ( and with a with more store no more than 5) open for the summer months June - Oct. Or less than this.
I don't think any can say they have been to or love a small town until they have walked the streets in the early evening around 530pm and it's dark outside and no one else is outside walking and the only thing you can hear his the wind or distant birds or sometimes even the wolves howling, and or the complete silence of the night and see stars every night and on a clear night seeing the snow covered mountains still.
I always thought where my grandparents had their nice home in Norwood that was a small town until I moved here to Stewart. I love every bit of it and I don't want to move from here. I want to live here when I am an old lady growing old with my husband.
One neat thing living here is that we are two minutes aways from Hyder Alaska which there is only one way in and one way out of that US state. The funnier thing of that is that its more than half less the size of Stewart BC. The thing that tops it the most is that we only live 2minutes away from there and once you cross over by car you are once again in a different time zone by one hour less than Stewart. Stewart is on Pacific time which is 3hours behind Eastern time and Alaska is 4hours behind Eastern time. But no one in Hyder follows that time just he post office.
