Small town people, small town minds, and small world views is how I often view these quaint mid-western towns and cities. I’m all for family values, less traffic, and low air pollution but there comes a time when one must ask, what am I sacrificing by staying here? What else does the world have to offer beyond these what seems like 4 simple predictable walls? For being as big of a country as we are, it seems that most of our members have a very narrow world view. I don’t claim to have traveled every place under the sun, but I am just saying leaving my small town in Minnesota was the best life choice I ever made.
