now what is the story of your home town

Son if you didn't learn something today, you wasted the whole day. (Jasper N. Lee, my granddaddy)

Flathead

My home town,, Was the best place you ever want to grow up. I liked it enough to buy my own place and raise my family here. In the last ten years it has become more or less an extension of philadelphia. People turning homes into apartments renting them out to whoever[:(!] Used to be able to walk out and go hunt the fields, now there are new homes everywhere[:(]crime is up, welfare bums discovered the train from philly stops right here and they are moving in like the plauge. On the bright side my house has tripled in value since I bought it 20 years ago. But it wont be long till the bums around here start driving the prices down[V]. Ready to make a move to find a new home town.

My home town, Mounds, Oklahoma:
.had a sign saying it was a short cut to Oklahoma City, it wasn't.
.has only one paved road thru it, rest are dirt
.is so small that the whole town can get on a Trailways bus
.had a grocery store, 8 folks couldn't support it, closed
.didn't have a post office until just a few years ago
.didn't have a bank until just a few years ago
.just go indoor plumbing
.there ain't much going on, but everybody knows it
[:D]

It must be right, or we wouldn't do it this way!
