I'm writing a story with a girl who has some conflicts that eventually grow into being a part of her life and all that she is aware of. It might turn into a love story between her, and her best friend Jake. Jamie (the main character) loses her friend David due to a drunk driving incident. I want the setting of this story to be in a small town somewhere in the United States, somewhere quiet with very little people. I've lived in big cities, (Saint Louis, Boston, Dallas) so I don't really know much about little cities. If anyone lives in a small town/city it would help me a great deal if you can tell me about your town. Maybe the surroundings, activities, sports, people, interests, crimes, anything of that sort. Thank you in advance and if you want to email me, my email is DenyThineName@hotmail.com to tell me more about your town

I see that you are on as a 15 year old female, but how do I know you aren't an internet predator lying about who you are, and asking for me to not only give you a description of my town, but the activities I participate in so you can come hunt me down, do terrible things to me, and leave me laying dead in a ditch somewhere?
Not saying that is your motive, or anything, but there are people out there like that. And this kind of question encourages naive people to disclose the name of the city in which they live.

Surroundings: old houses, a fair amount of developments, a supermarket where mostly highschoolers work, and a Cumberland Farms that's pretty much the highlight of our town.
Activities: walk around town with your friends & have the cops follow you. Without getting arrested.
Sports: two words- stupid Rams. [beat Northbridge]
People: we're indescribable. Once a Spartan, always a Spartan. ORANGE AND BLACK PRIDE! We're a unique bunch. Show us a box of Hamburger Helper, and we'll find a way to make it explode.
Interests: umm... shoplifting, yelling at people for aforementioned crime, walking around town, complaining about old, fat gym teachers.
Crimes: mostly stupid stuff like shoplifting 99 cent items. But awhile back we had this psycho guy strangle his mother, and some other guy got beaten into a coma at a bar & died [poor guy]. Only two times I recall us ever making the news. Pathetic, huh?
Biggest thing about a small town? Everybody knows everybody. You know everyone's business, and if you do something stupid everyone knows within a day :) [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
