Our town was so small, the welcome and now leaving signs were on the same post. It was so small that we once used our microwave, and I swear the street lights started to dim.

Our town was so small, for many years we only had ONE stoplight. And when they did add a 2nd one, it was a town event. And after a while, they got annoyed with it wasting the power (I assume), so they got rid of it and just used the stop signs. Don’t believe me?
