Take Me There Not For Contest

2022 Rouge River The Good Population 2,418 people with 5 Police Officers, Murders 0 in 2022 it has one of each, Doctors office, Grocery store, Pharmacy, hardware store and of course 1 liquor store. Very few homeless people but, they do exist each year they have a Christmas tree lighting and if lucky it snows. Hunting and fishing are only a short drive away surrounded by large trees; the river runs through the outskirts of town. Once a year they have what is called The Rooster Crow where shops of homemade gifts are set up people travel hundreds of miles to share in the fun. The Bad There is a 4 way stop that nobody seems to know who goes first, in the morning and afternoon it seems that the school buses stop every 10 feet. On Sunday the liquor store doesn’t open until noon, when it snows it’s cold and you have to shovel it from your walkway.

Sounds a LOT like 'Grovers Corner, NH.' Ever read 'Our Town,' by Thornton Wilder? It's a play. 109 pages paperback, with almost an inch of space between the lines. Think you'd like it... Happy Trails
