I live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. And by middle of nowhere, I mean, some people who live 5 minutes away have no idea my town exists.

There's about 500 people there, according to a random survey the town council released a while ago. But it does not feel like that many people there. And while there are towns smaller than that, my town is not a town to visit.

1. Literal middle of nowhere. Surrounded by corn on all sides. You WILL get lost trying to find it.

2. What will you do there? Nothing. There is nothing. Except maybe walk to the playgrounds you're too old to play on, and the baseball fields that you have no team to play with. Occasionally, there might be a Hawks game there, but I can't tell you when those are.

3. If you are a college-aged student, there are three other people there your age. Three. And while they're great people, you don't know them. When will you even find them home? They have lives.

4. If you're not into country-living, don't come to my hometown. We have tractor pulls for fun.

5. If you're not into garage-sales, don't come to my hometown. We have city wide garage sales once a year.

6. Our city webpage needs to be revamped. It's probably on a top list somewhere of "small-town websites so bad, you'll have to see them". Our website is so bad, there is someone who made another website to troll our website. And the town in general.

7. Our post office has weird hours. I love the people who work there, but our post office hours are really weird.

8. If you're afraid of hitting kids or people in the street while driving, don't come to my town. People are outside walking or riding bikes or playing in the street all the time, and most of the time, you have to drive REALLY carefully.

9. If you don't like kids, don't come to my town. We have a lot of families.

10. If you like to go shopping in person, don't come to my town. We have no place to shop.

11. If you hate driving, don't come to my town because you will have to drive to get anywhere else. Or ride a bike for 6 miles both ways. Which sucks. In the summer and there are no trees.

So there you go folks. It's probably more interesting to visit anywhere else, except my hometown.
