A lot of city folk listen to Garrison Keillor on NPR on Saturday nights, and they decide they would like to find their own real-life Lake Wobegon. They forget it's just a make-believe radio show. People in small towns can be petty, crime is everywhere, and country life can be boring. I don't want to step on anyone's dreams. I just think you can bring peace, contentment and joy into your life regardless of where you live. It's really up to you.

Do you want scenery, remoteness, internet connection...?

Bill, WY is remote, but I prefer Burgess Jct (population probably under 20 in each spot). If you want something a little bigger I like Encampment, WY. If money is no object, Moran Jct. Big enough for a college... Powell or Sherdian, WY.

There are some swell little towns in SD & ND, as well as MN. I will 'Second' Shepardstown, WV

Also very nice small town with a town square and everything. We would live there but my husband is a carpenter and work there in that occupation is very bad.
Here are some pictures taken in the Belle Valley area of Noble County, this is where I live...
