Mark 12:29-31 (King James Version)
29And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
-The "road hog" in front of you on Main Street is a farmer's combine.
-The local phone book has only one yellow page.
-Third Street is on the edge of town.
-You leave your jacket on the back of the chair in the cafe, and when you go back the next day, it's still there, on the same chair.
-You don't signal turns because everyone knows where you're going anyway.
-No social events can be scheduled when the school gym floor is being varnished.
-You call a wrong number and are supplied with the correct one.
-Everyone knows all the news before it's published; residents read the hometown paper just to see whether the publisher got it right.

There are no flashing caution lights or even a stoplight as you drive through town.
You have to drive to the next town over to go grocery shopping.
High school kids hang out in the parking lot of Walmart or some other local business on a Friday night if there are no basketball or football games.
Your mother knows you were speeding and passed a school bus on your way home from school...even before you get home she reprimends you for it by calling your cell phone.
etc. etc.

Sounds like home to me. We have to drive 6 miles to go to a store, the closest business is the local meat processing plant.
