If it was anything like the small town I was bussed to school in the answer would be no. Just one stop light that flashed red going one way and yellow the other way.
Oh.
There was nothing down main street other than a post office, a laundromat, and a liquor store (where people could also buy milk and a few other necessities). Population just a little over 1,000 and spread out. The family moved to where we’re currently at when the silver mine shut down. I love it there. Everything moves slowly. Kids spend their time riding horses, exploring the mountains, or inner tubing down the creek.
It’s pretty small here too. Main source of revenue is the lumber mill (which recently shut down…). The population has grown the past few years, but everyone in town pretty much still knows each other. Most of the local businesses are either bars or locally owned restaurants. There’s a Walmart and some chain fast-food here though.
Silver mine? You didn’t perchance see a Westerner with an Indian companion there from time to time, did you? 
We were about twenty-five miles away, but it could have been a different world.
When the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour became popular, there was a write-up on it in *People * Magazine. According to the story Cher’s home town, El Centro, CA, is an “exurb.”
Someone wrote in and asked, “Just what urb is El Centro an exurb of? Mexicali? Calexico? Brawley?”
The editors answered “San Diego,” though they admitted it’s 85 miles away!
Another Vermonter here. I lived in two different small town
The smallest one had about 200 and one store. No stoplights, no gas station. And only party line telephones available
I had to travel about 5 miles to go to a Junior High. We moved away after 8th grade, otherwise I would have had to travel about 20 miles to go to the closest high school (I had a choice of three High schools).
Its been 40 years since I moved away, don’t think much has changed. (except for the Party Line Telephones
)
Hi all,
I grew up and still live in the town of Greenhithe,Auckland,New Zealand with a population of 8,421 people as of the 2013 census.
I grew up in Gander, Newfoundland during the Fifties. Lots of airplanes (it was the main refueling stop for the trans-Atlantic flights) but only about 5,000 people. It’s now about 11,000.
According to fellow Gander boy Buddy Wasisname,
I was born and lived until age 8 in the largest city in the world (Tokyo). I had to take a bus, a subway, and a train each way to get to school.
So I guess I don’t win.
