Nah I linked the image from a small rural air charter company. Though in remote towns like that light aircraft are a common site, as sometimes air is the best way to deliver services (such as medical care) to remote out-of-the-way locations. Here are some more photos of William Creek and the nearby mining town of Coober Pedy:

Small town America can be quite charming.

I went through a period in my life where I just traveled for a year and a half throughout the Southwestern US, and I saw my fair share of small towns.

But, I am a city man at heart, and enjoy living in one. There is more to do, see and experience in a city.

Some really charming small towns that I recommend visiting are:


Chama, New Mexico
Taos, New Mexico
Terlingua, Texas
Cody, Wyoming
Manitou Springs, Colorado
Fredericksburg, Texas
Bozeman, Montana

It would be sweet to own that house. Get the right permits and you could throw some sweet massives.

That's about half the population in Denmark.
For me, 17.000 is perfectly fine.

Hehe you should go next time you are in CO.

It's a cool little town with club soda flowing out of the ground.

If you have some spirits you'd be in business.

Clemson, South Carolina. The "university town" where I did my Masters. The small shops and pubs that you see in the picture is all that is to our little downtown

This shot is taken from Wiki Commons.



Here's another pic. This is taken by me.

Kernersville, North Carolina, population: 20,000

quote:

The Town of Kernersville is rich with history. In 1756, Caleb Story received a land grant from the Royal Colony of Carolina. By 1760 the Cherokee Indians and new settlers of the region were at war. During that time Story sold his property to one David Morrow. The story is told, as represented in the Town�s seal, that four barrels of rum were considered for the transaction. Around 1771, William Dobson, an Irish emigrant, bought Morrow�s property together with an inn and store at the present intersection of Main and Mountain Streets, which he named Dobson�s Tavern. Interestingly enough, President George Washington had breakfast there during his Southern Tour on June 2, 1791. Dobson sold the property to a Gottlieb Schober in 1813, who on November 14, 1817 sold it to Joseph K�rner, a German immigrant who came to this country at 16 years of age to sell watches and clocks.

that story goes on, gets boring though, most interesting part is the sold for barrels of rum thing, and I guess that whole george washington thing, meh.

We like to call our town "K-vegas"

This is the entry to "downtown" , the main attraction of downtown is wal-mart (not kidding, http://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...rm=kernersville)

This is my back yard, and my pet duck, his name is Maverick, I live in front of a small lake


Big employers are tool and machinery type industries, and a couple large trucking companies are nearby. Dubbya bush visited the deere hitachi plant a couple years ago for some BS speech about pensions, thats a huge building tucked behind some woods that I didn't even know was there for the longest time. Dell computer just recently opened up a large plant here which is bringing alot of new people in. Historically tobacco and furniture have been the biggest sources of money in the area.


Seems to be a church here evere 100 yards, we in the center of a triangle of three larger cities (~150K ppl type cities), they are all about 20 minutes down the highway, between the three cities and kernersville there are maybe 1.5 million people. This area brought us people like Jay-Z and flava flave.

As far as partying goes its the same little group everywhere, we travel all across the state every weekend, mostly between charlotte, raleigh, and the towns surrounding kernersville, Kernersville is 100 miles between both areas. Personally I've always wanted to leave the south, I wouldn't reccomend coming here.
