[quote=Anonymous]A couple of anecdotes that help convey some difference.... Our first holiday season out of the DC bubble in rural VA we decided to take our young kids to the local Santa "meet and greet" before Christmas . Like good city transplants we left early to get good parking and avoid what we assumed would be long lines of kids. Of course, we were the first to arrive (beat Santa by 10 mins). I lost track of the fact that even if half the young kids in the county showed up that is only about a couple hundred kids. The other adjustment in small towns is that drivers wave to pedestrians and even to other drivers as they pass. If you are walking along the road odds are someone will pull over, ask if everything is OK, and offer you a ride. [/quote]
