As a non-American, I’m very confused by this. If it’s a town, it’s not rural by definition. Because, you-know, it’s urban.
Also, could we get a definition of town vs small town. Do you not have the concept of a village? (Village in the UK would be a settlement with a population of a couple of thousand, with usually a pub, local shop, maybe a post office and primary school if you’re lucky).
Condescending unnecessary “correction” aside, I’m glad you agree with me.
Sorry if I came across that way, I genuinely wasn’t intending to be condescending. The “correction” was simply me clarifying my own experience. But that image is genuinely amusing. I’ve driven through so many towns that look exactly like it!
