Q: I have lived all my life in a big city. I have
always wondered what it might be like to live in a small town. Do you have any
thoughts on that?
v Zoë, New York
A: Living in a metropolis as you do has many artistic cultural
benefits, but it is also true that immense cities like yours can often be
crowded and exist at a much faster pace of life. While a small town may be full
of charm and run at a much slower speed.
These
communities can sometimes be lacking in privacy. Everyone knows everybody’s
private business. Interesting news travels around town rather quickly. In all
neighborhoods (if you look hard enough), you can find people helping each
other.
If you wish
to experience a slice of Americana at its best, you might consider relaxing for
a leisurely read with the Mitford or Father Tim series by Jan Karon. Mitford,
NC, is the town to be a part of full.
It is full
of quirky; endearing characters and the pages of each book in these series is
full of memorable quotes and life-changing lessons. There is no need to pack a
suitcase because chances are you can arrive at this destination much sooner
than you anticipated.
