Rural area? or suburb of Big City???

The newspaper for Gladwin, where our cabin is, comes out once a week. They used to have a several columns from the outlying areas that reported who visited who...what events they went to etc. It was a stitch. Broken arms made the paper too. The "social" columns have disappeared, but that paper is still a hoot to read...except for this time of year when it is full of pictures of dead deer.
