Leaving ‘Small Town’ I always heard about people, known to my parents, who left our small town for the big city. As the years progressed it became every young person’s dream to go to the big city, where it was rumored, with much exaggeration that people had a good life; lived in luxurious apartments and drove the newest models of cars. Indeed the few who returned from the big city looked different. The young men wore flashy, expensive looking clothes while their lady counterparts would adorn themselves
