As you know, I grew up in a big city, Minneapolis: which really is a conglomerate of small neighborhoods: each with their own flavor. The area I grew up is the tallest point in the city and a water tower was built with a steep green pointy roof resembling a "Witches hat". Every year the neighborhood sponsors an "ice cream social" in the public school's parking lot. And the Tower opens where you can climb the inside spiral staircase and end up beneath the Hat and look out over the city, Mississippi River, and endless plains... now "the suburbs". Always a fun excursion.
Lucky you to have lived in so many small towns.
