You Know You are From A small Town When

- You decide to walk somewhere for exercise and 5 people pull over and ask if you need a ride.

- Your teachers remember when they taught your parents.

- You can charge at all the local stores.

- The closest McDonald's is 45 miles away. So is the closest mall.

- The golf course had only 9 holes

- You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend.

- Getting paid minimum wage is considered a great job.

- The town population increases by one-third when the universities go on break.

- The best burgers in town are at the rink.

- You know exactly where to go when the party is at "the lake".

- The city council meets at the coffee shop.

- Your letter jacket was worn after your 19th birthday.

- It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower.

- Everyone who played sports had to play on every type of team, or there wouldn't be enough people to have a team.

- You can remember when your town finally got cable.

- You went to parties at a pasture, barn, or in the middle of a dirt road.

- You went cow-tipping or snipe hunting. - The whole school went to the same party after graduation.

The Wichita Mountains are not a National Recreation Area. It's a National Wildlife Refuge.
