The thing is, the town really is a lot like that. I liked the place growing up; still do, as a matter of fact. As I used to say, "It's a nice place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit there."
As it is, I'm one of a very small number of urban-ish Gen-X-ers who grew up in a neighborhood where we didn't lock the doors, our neighbors sat on their porches and would just chat with folks, and would always come over to lend a hand if you needed anything, and like that. It is, fundamentally, a dull town. That's not really a bad quality in the town one grew up in.
