You know you live in a big town when:
You overhear somebody complaining in the grocery store that the potatoes have dirt on them.
There are several places to rent movies.
The schools DON'T close for opening day of deer season.
It takes 30 minutes to drive 5 miles.
An entrance ramp is a normal part of everyday driving.
A building over 5 stories is the norm, not the exception.
You speak of high population density as a good thing.
You have to be careful what time you go to the park, so you don't **** off the dealers and hookers.
Tolls and fares are just another part of the daily commute.
Parking spaces have meters.

You know you live in a big town when you break up with your ex-girlfriend and you can go a whole 17 months without once bumping into her on the streets.
Speaking from personal experience from when I used to live in a "town" who's population is in the high 6 figures.
