Born In A Small Town

Post by 68 Ford Stepside »

As I am nearing the end of the road of life, i find that i spend most days thinking about the past. This old song was written for fellows like me. Enjoy listening to it & treat the people you deal with in life with respect. Have A Great Ford Day! :)

One of my favorites too! I grew up overseas throughout the Middle East from 1968 - 1976. When we moved back to the states permanently, we moved to my mother's home town where her parents lived. Cotton Valley, population 250. K-12 grade in one building. A grocery store, a bank, a convenience store and a drive in hamburger/ice cream joint. My fondest memories are of those times when we never locked our doors and it didn't matter if the kids went out and played 'cause all the neighbor's kept an eye on them and you did theirs, too. Our kids talk about wanting to go places and see the world. I tell them "I've seen the world, I wasn't impressed." There's no place like home, especially in a small town. Thanks for sharing with us!

I like that song too. I live in Stanford, MT, population 400, It's the county seat of a county with no traffic lights. It's a big city compared to Cotton Valley but sargentrs's description pretty much describes the place except we have a few more businesses:

Thanks 68 Stepside, I enjoyed the video and the music. I too was raised in a small town.

I was raised in Cotati, CA, population 1200. Rural and semi agricultural. Everyone knew who you were and we didn't lock our doors either. It has changed a lot. Populations has spiked in that area and the traffic is terrible. About 12 years ago my wife and I made the decision to more to Lakeport, CA where the population is much smaller and a traffic jam is five cars at a stop sign, we don't have any stop lights in the town. The teenagers want out to see the world, but they come back in their thirties to raise their kids. The high school football game on Friday night is a social event and a place to say high to lots of people. Luckily I won't be around when this place is over populated and loses its charm. I figure at 64 years of age I'll be gone before this place changes too much.

If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to?
