[quote=Anonymous]Small city/big town

People are nicer but not very smart in general 
Parking spaces and driving lanes are larger, which is so nice
Despite living in an agricultural area, the grocery stores don’t have great produce and few International or unusual ingredients. There are farm stands for local produce. 
There are only a few car dealerships in town so if you buy a foreign car you’ll need to drive to a city for service. 
Shopping for clothes in person is pretty sad. Amazon or online shopping is standard.
No really cute boutiques for clothes, gifts, chocolates, baby clothes, etc.
Most flights need to connect through a larger airport, but there are a few direct flights. Airport is an hour away. 
No Uber, delivery or taxi service at all. A few restaurants and pizza deliver.
Hospital is pretty good for emergency care and general stuff, but anything complex goes to major city. 
High school sports are huge. Band, cheerleaders, it’s big. 
Summer festival is cancelled due to economic decline. County fair is fun.
Jobs are scarce. Most people work retail, at hospital, or for a few manufacturing companies.
Most housing is not well kept due to the affordability issues. There are a few richer gated areas.
Limited diversity, few Asians, few Jews, few African Americans in leadership positions.
Teachers are nice but aren’t worldly. Field trips are usually to cities, so a long bus ride. 
If you don’t go to church, you’ll be bored on Sundays and have trouble making friends.
