a very small town

     The smallest town I have ever visited had three businesses--a gas station ( with a refrigerator stocked with milk and a rack of bread ), a luncheonette ( with a refrigerator stocked with milk and a rack of bread ), and a tavern ( with a refrigerator stocked with milk and a rack of bread).  The nearest town with a supermarket was another 2 1/2 hours away. A city must look like wonderland to anyone raised in a place like this--it certainly did to me when we got back.
