...A town is a settlement ranging from a few hundred to several thousand (occasionally hundreds of thousands) inhabitants, although it may be applied loosely even to huge metropolitan areas; the precise meaning varies between countries and is not always a matter of legal definition. Usually, a "town" is thought of as larger than a village but smaller than a "city", though there are exceptions to this rule.Historically, in Great Britain at least, a village became a town only when it had been granted a charter to hold a regular livestock market. This had little to do with the size of the population. Read full entry

What town shall I live in the My husband and I will be
moving to the states soon, I
am english and we currently
live in Surrey. When we move,
I want to live somewhere that
is similar to England and is a
bit historic with an outdoor
town. I really like
Georgetown, DC but it is much
too expensive. I also like
Charleston, SC. Does any one
know any other towns similar
to these?

I am a native of Pittsburgh, PA and let me say...it is a very affordable place to live. Pittsburgh is often ranked number one as the most liveable city in the USA. It has relatively low crime. It has good hospitals, good education for children, good education for adults (many universities and colleges), and good food. Pittsburgh also has a good symphony orchestra and some interesting attractions like skiing in the nearby mountains, if you are into that. The only downside of Pittsburgh is that it has very little night life. People really don't live in the city, it's mostly office buildings, so after 6 PM on a weekday, it's dead. Because of this, it is not as quaint as Georgetown, with its many small shops and eateries and coffee shops. Another downside is that public transportation is not nearly as good as Washington DC's. You might also wish to scope-out some of the smaller cities in the South like in the states of Georgia or South Carolina. The one thing that we are really lacking as a nation is a good public transportation system that is reliable and affordable. We Americans are overly obsessed with our automobiles. |

What is the smallest town with The bank where I primarily do
my banking is located in a
town with a population of 208
people. It is not a branch but
a single location where all
business and processing is
done. Is this found anywhere
else? I can find single banks
in larger towns and bank
branches in towns this small.
I can't find an independent
bank in such a small town like
this one.
No website yet. They did add
optional debit cards back in
2003 or 2004.

Not many of those left, for sure! If there were, they probably wouldn't even have a website or even be mentioned online. |

How are small town values Fred Thompson said in his
speech that Sarah Palin was
from a small town and had
small town values. What
exactly does that mean. ? I am
from Philadelphia( the sixth
most populous city in America)
and I want to know why coming
from a large city is bad.
I go to work, pay my taxes and
even attend church regularly.I
care for and love my country
just like someone from a city
of 6,000. Do people in small
towns feel superior to us? Do
they think they have the
upperhand when it comes to
values and morals? I am just
curious.

I think you will find "small town" values change everywhere. I'm from a town of about 9,000 (one of the larger ones in Vermont if you can beleive it), but our town still voted 65% or so for Kerry in the last election, even though our state has a Republican Governor and an Independent senator. "Small town values" is a made up phrase by Republican politicians that is somehow supposed to be a cosy way of saying "conservative values." They're not at all the same. And for the record, my town and Wasillia are the same size, and our town manager is brain-dead. Governing over 9000 people is like saying you take care of plants: for the most part they take care of themselves. |
