Small town life is still alive and kicking

Lots of these folks pictured here live in surrounding communities and suburban neighborhoods.
In the United States it seems that so many residents have abandoned our original, historical downtowns.
I believe it is a hopeful phenomenon when these "out-of-downtowners " make an effort to visit and support our historical areas.
I keep my fingers crossed that this will continue. Will you join me in crossing fingers? :)
