Who else on here lives in a podunk town? I may live in the largest "city" in Mississippi, but it is Mississippi. If you want to see a Broadway touring company, you have to go 200 miles to Memphis. Art? Better fly to the High in Atlanta. Normally, it doesn't bother me, but yesterday a friend and I went scooter-pooting around town, and all we could say was, "This is some sorry sh*t."

LOL!

I've never lived in a town like that......I think I'd go nuts!

I imagine you would. The largest 'cultural' event to hit this little hamlet lately was the Dixie National Rodeo and Livestock Competition.
I chose not to attend.

HAHA! Although rodeo guys can be nice to look at?

I have no doubt that a few nifty little cowpokes were frequenting the area but...

Hey, my folks live in Mississippi now. I cannot imagine how they survive....having lived all thier lives 1/2 way between Philly and NY!

Mama, that must have been one loud wake-up call for them!

They've been there for a dozen years now....I hate visiting. I will say this: folks are more polite there!

I've been living here in North Carolina for a year and a half. Or as they call it 'round these parts: "Noaf Cuh-Lina". The nearest "big" city is Raleigh and I think the tour for Legally Blonde is coming through in April. That's about it. I'm literally dying of boredom down here!!! Somehow I've got to make it back up to Philly or at least Maryland.

My grandmother lives in this tiny little town on the Northern neck of Virginia. Literally nothing to do.

Once while on tour in Beaumont, TX, a cast mate asked a lady at McDonalds what there was to do in Beaumont and she just laughed. Pretty theatre, though.

Sing, if you're ever in Jackson, Ms, playing the Ramada Inn Knotty Pine Room and ask me that question, you will certainly get a bitter laugh followed by copious tears.

I don't think the subruban part of Virginia Beach counts but my adoring mother lives there. Norfolk isn't very far away, so when I visit we usually go to the art museum or to The Narrow (a theatre) to see Rocky Horror Picture Show. In here area itself,the most exciting things are the park and a bluegrass hoedown once in a while.

Viv, I lived in Norfolk/Va Beach for 6 years. It totally doesn't count.

My town is slightly Podunk-esque.

But its growing, so I can't complain!
