No kidding. We really don’t have a stop light, but that doesn’t mean that you can just roll through the stops. Seriously if you do, you will get pulled over.

2. A small police force doesn’t mean you can get away with anything.

Especially if you choose to rob the bank (twice).

3. If you don’t live in a small town then you won’t understand how everyone knows each other.

To the point that we can tell when a car doesn’t belong here, hence how they caught the bank robber.

4. There are a lot of family farms.

Most of them are related in some way, either by blood or by marriage.

5. You always know what’s going on and who is involved.

This includes banding together as a community to save our little school.
