There was actually a piano in it for music at silent films! Also, food and drink were not allowed and you had to eat and drink the food they sold to us in the lobby!<br /><br />Over the 9 years that we lived there we did witness the installation of a traffic lightonly because McDonald's moved in and created a *traffic situation*!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402127593274759760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-83746260439830919562009-11-22T14:32:16.272-08:002009-11-22T14:32:16.272-08:00Your small town looks very pictoresque.

...Oh my heart aches to live in a small town again. <br />I am back in the major suburbs, about 45 minutes north of NYC, where I grew up and spent most of my years. <br /><br />I did live in a small town in Vermont, Southern VT, where everyone knew your name, The gal at the post office would give Cheddar cookies and ask how the show was going. Yes I could bring my dog in the post office. My favorite memory of moving up there was the first time someone gave me their number...it was just 4 digits. The last 4 digits as everyone has the same exchange. I thought that was cool.<br /><br />But alas, my true love was down here, his business is down here, my industry is concentrated in NYC so....when we started dating I knew it was inevitable. We are putting my house "Silver Lining Farm" back on the market. So if there is anyone out there who is looking for a small town home sweet home, let me know. <br /><br />That being said, Jeff and I want a more rural life. Our time frame (he is big into time frames) is that we will move to a place with more land in the next 18 months. I want chickens and goats and a HUGE veggie garden. More land=more rural. Yeah!<br /><br />If I had a veggie garden and chickens and we lived in the same town I would have made you homemade chicken soup and brought it over. Left it on your milk box :^D Glad you are felling better!abby jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186069406334168116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-46588770543275062272009-11-20T00:50:51.917-08:002009-11-20T00:50:51.917-08:00Wonderful, dear Willoghby....you are feeling bette...Wonderful, dear Willoghby....you are feeling better!!!!!!<br /><br />.....and I live ...can I say it....in a place like in a fairytale...: on top of a hill, inmiddle of a protectet natural parc....close to the mediterranean sea..a few miles away...only a three minute drive to the next 400 soul-fairytale-little- village....and 1 hour and a half from Siena, Florence, 40 minutes from Volterra and so on...!<br />what shall I say .

Wh...I want to live there! Your town looks perfect!<br /><br />When I lived in So California, I lived in the perfect small town...16,000 people, 1 square mile of residence, the perfect Main Street, and secluded from the big bad city of L.A. but within an easy traffic-filled drive.<br /><br />I know live on a peninsula of about 60,000. Our town is about 16,000. The big cities are at least an hour to two hours away. It is a weird place, I cannot even describe it.Holly Lefevrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682463489134875301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-21795427122488897772009-11-18T23:14:58.360-08:002009-11-18T23:14:58.360-08:00It looks absolutely lovely!

It's a quaint Victorian seaside town in Central California. It has small town charm, but has a lot of art, culture, and wonderful restaurants. If we crave the city, San Fran is just 1.5 hours away. I love being able to walk everywhere know nearly everyone I pass when walking down the street. <br /><br />P.S.

But I never saw a "Hit a deer, fix it here" sign so you're might be smaller. (That's a hoot!)<br /><br />Now I live in way (too) big Los Angeles with no sense of community or any of the small town flavors and sights. I miss living in a small town.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing yours. It made my day.<br />xoJoanna Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836376588710862173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-52515819497855576622009-11-18T20:31:37.139-08:002009-11-18T20:31:37.139-08:00I so so so enjoyed your pictures.

For some reason I thought you were in the Northeast with Christine from Marvelously Mundane. Oops!<br /><br />I was raised in the suburbs, but live inside the city limits of Chicago now. We are definitely not downtown, but it is much more 'crowded' here. Everything is a stone's throw away and public transportation is easy to access, as are all the highways. But we are lucky because at the end of our block is a huge park district park with the north branch of the Chicago River running through it and wetlands and a pond. (We dream of retiring in the country.) Love your pictures!Chicago Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08684234947777814989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-48091895314981778512009-11-18T17:00:31.508-08:002009-11-18T17:00:31.508-08:00Your town looks very appealing.

We have rural country areas, with a mix of suburb scenes. Shopping isn't too close, but not real far either. We have farmland, and shopping centers. A bit of a mix.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979949404266325705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-72238363245768538552009-11-18T13:12:59.544-08:002009-11-18T13:12:59.544-08:00Beautiful pics!

We have "the square" which is home to the Courthouse, a few small stores, a couple of lawyers offices and a bank. However, we are a 5A school and just outside of "THE LAKE" which I believe I've told you about. <br /><br />I don't mind. I like the quiet. It's not a long drive to go to the movies, the mall, etc. It IS absolutely CRAZY in the summer when the tourists flock in, but I'm used to it. <br /><br />However, I would gladly move to your town...beautiful!!!Raoulysgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656303112052173326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-39970375923912873872009-11-18T12:14:22.736-08:002009-11-18T12:14:22.736-08:00Your small town's huge compared to mine!!

We get deer and fox running around. There's lots of beautiful old trees that reach up to the sky (they've been there for years). I like it here. It's a healthy walk into town. I think there's too many restaurants. I like the other small town we're sandwiched between. It's a college town, and I love the atmosphere and shops.<br /><br />Glad you are up to your young self!Purple Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831681595310623140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-5732790520756252512009-11-18T10:51:01.727-08:002009-11-18T10:51:01.727-08:00Great photos!

That's the type of area I'd love to live in...<br /><br />I live in a town of about 15,000, but my house is 1/4 mile from the second largest city in New England (although, you'd never think it was that big...) The northern part of my town is very rural - farms, woods, conservation land, while I'm in a more residential area. We have a nice town center, though not as charming as some of the other New England towns. I grew up in a mill town - the whole town sprung up around one giant mill/factory complex. We had one convenience store and one gas station...everything else you had to travel a couple miles for! And finally, where I was born - typical New England farm/mill town, charming architecture and main street, lots of open space, farms, woods...if I had my choice, I'd be living there now!<br /><br />Love the fire station mural!! (of course, I have a thing for all things firefighter related...)ChristineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851502547567088841noreply@blogger.com
