Living in a Small Town and Boy Do Mean Small

I was reading this article about a town in the state of Colorado, I was interested as I live in Colorado. Having lived in the state my whole life I thought I had heard about all the living ghost towns that were in the state. Needless to say I was wrong there is one town in Colorado that only has 2 people living there. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/a-one-horse-town-down-to-two-people.html My question is would you want to live in a town like that where you had to drive for several hours sometimes to just get to the store? I think that living in a small town would be nice but not one that small. I would want at least for there to be one small store a general type store where you can get every thing. It kind of takes you back to the simpler days when towns were small and every one knew every one else and you were not afraid to leave your keys in your car and your front door unlocked, because if any thing ever happened you would know who did it. I miss the small town living and have been thinking for years now that perhaps its time to cut from the rat race and go back to enjoying the simple things in life.

i like the convenience of living in the suburbs of a mid sized city. i grew up in a small town and while i loved it, it had no bus service. i cannot drive due to health reasons so find the buses wonderful.

Its good that your town has a bus system. I know that where I live if we did not have a bus service that many people would not be able to get out and about. I think that it would be cool to live in a small town just not one that only has 2 people living there.
