NPR is doing a story on Changing America where once again, "Experts" are talking about how life is changing. But they're just touching on the changes in Small Town America.

Specifically, they talked about all the small towns and rural areas where town populations are shrinking. Can people talk about some of these small towns and rural areas where there are "hobby farm" plots available (five to ten acres or more) and where the remaining population is open to a couple of urban black professional couple moving to?

Most seem to be in the South (good ) and Midwest (also good ... but some of them are also in the Rust Belt and even places like South Dakota.

What's open in your area?

Look in the outskirts of Winston-Salem. You'll find the small farms you're asking about, but you'll also not be too far from the city life (& possibly your real jobs)!
