      Including the one I live in. Terre Haute, Indiana. Population: ~60k.

      And we are not considered to be some great metropolis. You can drive from one side to the other in maybe 45 minutes if traffic is good.

        It’s crazy to me that you need 45 minutes for a city of that size. In Germany you probably need 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.

          Smaller world than you think. My wife does pioneer days every year (and also the weekends when the village is open), either showing off the school room or the room with the spinning wheels and looms- she knows all about that stuff and is very talented at it.
