Where we live there isn’t a cute town square. There’s no very old tree in the center of town, no bakery or hardware store. And of course there isn’t a Norman Rockwell displayed anywhere. We’re missing the row of assorted buildings lining each side of the street, and no traffic light.
The original founders of this place didn’t plant a flag in the ground and have a ceremony. One of them said, “How about here?” and apparently someone else said, “I guess so.” So here we all are, living together but without a town.
If you drive to the far end of that road over there, you’ll see someone
fly fishing, but don’t get excited. It
isn’t the artsy sportsman kind that comes to mind.

I would have also loved to live in a Norman Rockwell town! So very cool. Also wish our city buildings had some character like those of France, England and Spain and other countries. We just have stacks of plain cement.
