When you grow up in a small town, you just know. How do you know? Check these ten signs.
1. The town shuts down for Friday night football games.
2. The nearest place open past 10:00 p.m. is 30 plus minutes away.
3. “Downtown” is where the only fast food place is.
4. You know every single person you graduated with.
5. There’s one crappy diner in your town that you eat two to three times a week at.
6. The elementary school playground is also the town’s park.
7. You run into everyone and their mother and their mother’s mother every time you step out of the house.
8. You can’t lie about anything you do. Why not? (Reference reason seven.)
9. If you work in town, 100 percent of your customers and not only regulars, but your neighbors.
10. There’s only one main road.
