Anyone who grew up in a small town can remember what it is like. The single solitary Main Street that probably has a total of three shops was the hallmark image of your childhood town. Although a small town has its quirkiness that makes it easy to bash, at the end of the day you love the place you grew up in.

1. You are related to half of the kids in your school.

The star of the soccer team is your cousin and so is the band nerd. Even if you are not originally from a small town, you will see quite quickly that everyone is related.

2. Your town has one grocery store.

There is no extreme couponing for you. Chances are if you are lucky enough to have a grocery store in your town, it is the only one.

3. It probably takes about five minutes max to drive through your town.

4. Everyone in your town seems to know who you are. This can be a blessing and a curse.

5. The nearest shopping mall is at least 30 minutes away by car.

6. Pretty much all there is to eat around you are diners.

7. You get stuck behind tractors all of the time on your local roads.

8. An exciting Friday night was going to the movies or maybe browsing the aisles of Walmart or Target.

9. When people ask where you are from, you just tell them the nearest semi-recognizable city.

10. At the end of the day, no matter how much you may bash it, you will always have a soft spot for your childhood in a small town.
