I live in a small town, and I love it. Rent is cheap, I can bicycle to the grocery store, and it’s just 30 minutes from a major city where all the cool stuff happens! The only downside is nobody wants to commute to my place for house parties

Same! I consider that last bit a win, a couple of times a year is enough for me.

if your small town has a small town theater

We did, but they didn’t make enough to stay in business. One of the local churches bought it instead of paying to renovate their place of worship. I haven’t been over there, but I assume their youth movie nights are top-notch.
