I don't know if everyone would consider it a "small town".
With its own police station, magistrate's court and 6 counter post office... right next to each other in one street.
One of the local animal feed co-ops sit across the road from the court, farmer's and suburban pet owners alike, pulling into the parking lot ready to stock up for the week and get supplies.
Most of the shops and banks line either side of the main road, the "city centre".
There is no mall or large shopping centres.
It's a little town, with popular chain stores, chemists, fast food franchises, hardwares and a watch store/barber that has been in the same shop for nearly 3 decades.
Doctor and dentists rooms outnumber the lawfirms and sit in former suburban homes in the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Its endearing, with it's own charm.
Admittedly not quite like the neighbouring village that it borrows its police department and municipal infrastructure too. But it has charm nonetheless.
I've lived in towns and cities, trendy suburbs
And here I have found my heart... repeatedly over the last two decades.
It's here I am home.
