The UPS van delivers all packages to the grain elevator, 'cause that's the only real address. The residents all use P.O. boxes.
Yup, grew up near a town with a population of 150.

The UPS man will deliver packages with our home address on them, to our business (so the package won't get wet on a rainy day...LOL!)
Our UPS AND Fed-Ex men do that for us! Isn't that cool! I love it!
Oh, and here's another one . . .
A couple years ago, I dropped my income taxes into the box at the local post office on April 13 after the post office had closed. I woke up in a cold sweat, when I realized that I NEVER SIGNED THEM! OMG!  I called the Post Office the minute they opened. The postmaster knew me, so he grabbed mine out of the box and held them until I got there so I could open them and sign them!
Only in a small town!!!

If it's a real small town, the jacket will be delivered the next morning by one of your coworkers who sees it and brings it to you.

and the best one...all of the people on the Fire Department and Ambulance service are volunteers, because the town cannot afford paid employees...did that for 15 years.

This actually happend to us:
If you move 5 miles, you don't need to contact the local paper delivery person. They saw your cars at the new house and knew that you had moved.

About 25 years ago, we lived on a mountain top where the only access road would sometimes be closed for a couple of days after a snow storm. FEDX and UPS would deliver our packages to the general store at the foot of the mountain that also housed the post office. The mailman would then deliver the packages to us by snowmobile, along with the day's mail. If we needed something from the store, we could call down and have that sent up with him as well. We made sure he got a very nice Christmas tip each year!

I like our small city - a bit of the rural small town mixed in with the conveniences of a city. And where else can you see a limo driving down the road with "Farm Use" tags on it?

My cousin moved from a really small town to a "city" with 1,800 people and started having problems with her car. She thought the mechanic was crazy when he asked her what color it was. Turns out, he'd seen her drive by the shop every day and thought he might know what was wrong based on the sounds it made and just wanted to know if it was the same car or not.

The wife grew up on a family farm about 10 miles from a town of less than 1,000 in NE Kansas. No traffic lights and maybe one stop sign, gas station at the Co-Op and an IGA grocery store. This was our first day there visiting from CA and I was sent to pick up a few items from the IGA. As I stepped through the door the lady at the checkout who I have never seen before pointed at me and said, “And add flour to your list for Millie.”
