Two roads that intersect have four corners at the intersection.

One road that ends into another road, has two corners at the intersection.


For example in our town, we have one road that goes through our town. And there is a second road [recently paved] that comes in and ends where it meets the first road.

These two roads are the only roads in our town.

The primary road has a name and center line painted. The second road is not named, nor does it have any paint on it.

The intersection has two corners [though no stop sign of course].

Actually,across the main road(l), from the road that ends,(---) ,there's a 2 wheel lane(==)
that goes off into the woods and it divides up 2 properties that meet the road. So in reality, it's a 4 corner.(----l==)

You know you live in a small town when there is an intersection of several roads and everyone in the county knows it as 'five-points'

All the stores have tall doors and doorways and high ceilings,wooden counter and saw dust floors.

'all the stores'? You have a store? You have multiple stores?

Pretty big town to have a store.

...When the town you live in only has 1 sheriff. Two on the weekends.
Or when the phone book has less pages and is smaller than a word search magazine!

. . . the mailman comes by your door in the afternoon to deliver a package (after the mail was already delivered early that morning) because the packages reads, "Do Not Bend" and they (the two of them in the post office) wanted to be sure it didn't get bent by delivering it all by itself.

Mailman......it was raining and rather than put a sizable package by the mailbox or on the porch, it was left in my car.
Didn't restart delivery last year even though I had put down the date to do so because she hadn't seen any cars at the house yet so held it at the post office until we really did get back.
