I Was Born in a Small Town

Thoughts from Tiny Suburbia

I was born and raised in a small town by the name of Mount Ephraim. This miniscule, one mile by one mile piece of land, is not even a mere speck on the map. Yet it was here where I have made and kept a lifetime of memories.
Located in South Jersey, the town has more personality than it's insignificant geography would indicate. That is, its residents, with their collective love of pretzels and "wooder" ice, Philly cheese steaks and sports teams has enough character to fill a city even if it's not one. Together, the town ignores its proximity to the most dangerous city in the country (Camden), and rejoices in its being the birthplace of "The Boss." That's Bruce Springstein for anyone not in the know.

I love my town because you can never get bored, although there is never anything going on. With nothing but a bunch of hair salons and pubs, there isn't much for a kid to do, especially without a license. But we made the best of it.
Jailbreak at the corner store, sneaking out to 7-11 for ice cream and cookie dough, and riding bikes or "walking around" were favorite pastimes.

Living in a small town is quite a unique experience. People who
live in biggers cities just don't understand it. I live in a town
much like the one described in the article. Everyone knows
everyone else and when something tragic happens, the community
comes together in such a way to comfort each other. As much as I
love the city life, deep down I am glad that I am a small town
girl at heart.
