Does this sound like Mayberry or WHAT!?
All kidding aside, I feel so lucky to be able to raise my daughter in such a safe place.

That does sound like Mayberry...rejoice in it!
Sounds like Heaven to me. It's TERRIBLE here in the Metro Atlanta area. Multiple murders, robberies and home invasions every night on the local news. Want to swap places? If we could move our house we would do that!
I've lived both ways, and I prefer the sirens. But I'm only raising cats. If I were raising kids, I'd feel the same way - and to be honest? Even as a single woman with felines, a small New England town sounds like a beautiful fit. At least someone would return my cat, right? : )
ENJOY IT. :)
LOL - ours is like that too.
And I never forgot something that ran in the police blotter in the town I grew up in: "A large cardboard box was seen moving down Main Street".
These are GREAT! I grew up in a small coalmining town in western Pennsylvania - that lost cat would have been BIG news!
Thanks magpie!
