Memories of a Small Town
Did you come from a small town?
This could be just like any other small town USA, with the old buildings, and it's proud people from an era gone by, living in a much simpler time.
A time when people depended much more on themselves, and didn't give the government much thought in helping them with their struggles.
In fact, saking the government for help, except during the depression, wouldn't have even entered their minds. Self-sufficiency was the only way to live. Yes, they were a stronger people.
Join me on a trip back in time to meet those people, and see the sights of a much simpler time.
