What Makes this Town Special

Beyond miles and miles of cornfields, and even further down obscure dirt roads, you will find our little town. You can't find it unless you're lost, and the only way to leave is to have money and a road map.
We like to say that the town was set up by a Civil War general after the war. We say that he brought his family and became a farmer, but really, some big shot in a big company decided that he needed to set up a factory, and he picked the middle of nowhere for its location.
The factory employes half of the people in this town. Forty-five percent are farmers. Then there are the other people who are barbers, or store owners, or teachers at the school. We call those people "the lucky ones."
The town's name shall remain anonymous. But I will tell you this: it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and the public library is about the size of a kitchen.
The town might be small and we might not be rich, but we do have nice people. We have people who care about each other. We have people who will go out of their way to help one another. That's why people stay here after they retire. Not because they have to, but because of the people. The people. That's what makes this town special.
