I love small towns. The charm, the people, the community. My fascination started back in the 1980s when thumbing through Southern Living magazine and seeing those Rockwell images of Independence Day celebrations. Some twenty years later I find myself raising my family in a small town.
My town is a patchwork of all age groups, religious affiliations and a variety of unique businesses. I am not only a resident of a small town, but now a business owner, and I find my tax dollars matters more. I hope to bring a new story each week that features my small town - Purcellville, VA.
small town - In Virginia, a town is an incorporated municipality similar to a city (though with a smaller required minimum population). But while cities are by Virginia law independent of counties, towns are contained within counties. (source: Wiki's definition)
matters - (the verb) to be of importance (source: Webster's definition); (the noun) something printed or otherwise set down in writing (source: The Free Dictionary definition)
You can expect to read stories about local businesses, and news from the Town Hall. I will keep it light-hearted and fun... because we all take life too serious.
