I grew up in a tiny little town in Saskatchewan (population less than 500), but I now live in a small city.

Best things about where I grew up:
Growing up with the same group of people, you are forced to deal with disagreements and problems, and end up making friends for life
Everyone is there for everyone else, raising money for anything that needs it.
Being able to say hello to anyone you see when you walk down the street, and when I go home now it seems like everyone is happy to see me and asks about what I've been doing with my life. It's always a warm welcome!
Quiet nights with no traffic!

Worst things:
Everyone knows everything. Sometimes it felt like a soap opera. I felt so bad for the kids I used to teach figure skating to, when EVERYONE knew their family problems, and just who their parents were cheating on each other with.

The best thing about Frankfort is:
1) One can walk from one side of town to the other in about one hour.
2) Prices are not too bad at all, especially if you watch the ads.
3) Indianapolis, Lafayette, and Kokomo are within an hours driving with more choices of restaurants and shopping


The worst thing about Frankfort:

1) Not enough places to shop, Super Wal Mart has pretty much ran everyone off!
2) People that have more than others, sure like to flaunt it!
3) Our city and county government sucks. They don't listen to the people, they pretend they do, but do what they want.
4) Our town is really a small town, use to be able to go to bed without locking the doors. Then one of the church's here in town decided they would go all out to help another group of people move here. Now we have gangs and within the last 9 days have had three shootings. Thank God no one was killed, but it's just a matter of time. I would never live "in" town again. Glad I'm out in the country.

Have anymore to add Linda?

The best....Living out in the country where I don't feel "trapped" with a bunch of people. I can head into town when I want but then leave it all behind to come home to tranquility.

The worst...The mentality of so many people here.
